36y/o now 93kg, will go back to 85kg. > 400m time improvement?

i think it is very ambitious to run the last 50m in 5 seconds!

let us know how it went.

Is "jelly legs" some sort of technical term you Europeans use?

I am a slow starter. Also, when I have a whole interval program to do, I don't absolutely max the first one. Do you? I'd want to see the rest of your workout then.

I think I heard it somewhere, but may well have made it up myself.

Any pointers on weight loss for 400m time?

i don't really do intervals on the track any more tbh.

good luck with it. i hope you get 55!

Cloxxki I remember you from the mtn bike forums. Nice to see you over here.

We can agree the shorter the race distance the LESS excess weight hinders performance.

Therefore longer the race the more excess weight hinders performance.

My very limited experience is consistent with the above.

Please keep us posted.

WAS train hard for the 400 lose the weight get fast run your best time then put on an 8kg weight vest and see what you can do.

Hi Charlie, cool to find a biker here.

I did 58.6.

Disappointed, the race felt better. Had some sub-55 kids to chase being on the inside lane.

Perhaps I was too lazy passing 200m. and I have always been bad when legs build up lactate, at least running. Seems hard to stay on my feet.

I do 28" 200's frequently, multiples in a session. So 58.6 seems weak.

Trying it with a weight vest is a cool idea. Want to get one anyway. Some 400 runners get slower from them, keeping up form may be crucial during training in it.
