should i still do 400 metre races or give up on them entirely? i've done mileage, i've done 500m repeats, i just can't run the 400m at a speed i think i should be able to run it at...
pbs
100 - 11.69 FAT
200 - 23.88 FAT
400 - 57.01 FAT
800 - 2:19.94 FAT
1500 - 4:58.33 FAT
so give up on it and focus on 1/2 or still try it to remain an asset to colleges?
If you are a girl, those times are not too bad, and I would probably still focus on the 400m. If you are a boy, I would not pursue the shorter distances.
100 and 200. A good coach might get your 400 up to the level of your shorter sprints.

Agree. Starting at 400 your times drop off as the distance increases. How old are you? If you're younger it makes sense that your coach would want to develop your speed; if you're older and want to get better at the 400/800, I'm sure you could add in some event-specific training and see huge gains.
