I didn't spin it... Perhaps it's better to stick to the topic of this thread.
I say 74-75 seconds per 400 with three minutes rest. Assuming of course that the OP is a real person, has managed a 5:05 mile etc. etc.

Rubbing it out 8 times with only 3 min recovery?

With 3 mins of rest you could do them slightly below or at 1600m pace probably.
If 10 x 400 at mile pace with 1 minute rest is a common mile workout, and 6 x 400 at 800 pace with 2 minutes rest Jumbo Elliot's complimentary workout, what do you think you could do with 3 minutes of rest?
Galen did at least this many 400s and 800s at 800m and mile race pace on 3 minutes rest after his 5K. AFTER THE 5K.
To clarify, by "below" I meant slightly faster than 1600m pace, but either way, there's no way somebody is running 6x400 at 800m pace.
Recovery (w/r/t muscle strength moreso than aerobics) is exponential in running, weight lifting, etc. Most of the recovery occurs in the first minute or two and the remainder takes way longer than anyone would take off (body isn't going to be 100% for hours, or, depending on how hard you ran, the next day). In a shorter interval workout like 400m, you probably wouldn't be that much faster if you took 90 secs rest as opposed to 3 mins rest.

I thought the same as you, until I watched Jordan Hasay run 8 x 400 in 62 just minutes after running a 2:08 800. If you take long 3-minute rests jogging a slow 400 in between each, you can run them way faster than mile pace, not just slightly faster.
HardLoper and SMJO, congratulations on ruining this thread. This could have been one of the funniest threads given the typo in the title, but you too have successfully clogged it with a pointless argument.
OP, I like the two hand technique, when doing that you've gotta really push it in the last 200. Hold on tight and just bang it out. You can use these tactics for the first couple of rubs, but you've gotta be conservative or you'll just drains yourself . So keep it controlled for the first 5 reps, and then if you feel good, really get into it on the last one. Remember to stay hydrated, and bring some friends to pace you, so that you don't lose focus and fall off the pace in the middle of the reps.
That would have been lame if it was the first response.
Congrats, trirunner96, you just made me agree with SMJO. That is some feat.
trirunner96: Incredible! You're even lamer than SMJO and Hardloper. I really didn't think that was possible. Congrats!
Thanks guys... I was just trying to make up for the humor that SMJO and HardLoper shat on with their pointless bickering about intelligence, but I guess you don't appreciate making fun of typos-I'm sorry you hate laughter. We all know you two are idiots, so let's end the argument there, and you can go bother people on the internet elsewhere.
I'm not sure. Just don't rub them the wrong way.

False. Another purpose would be to increase endurance.
...hence making you faster in the long run. Sorry, buddy.

F**k "laughter." F**k "humor." Everything I post is real. Raw insight without all the BS. Lets Run Dot Com, I live for this.

You're obviously posting on the wrong thread then. This thread is just BS.
