Tell the Clerk of Course when you check in for the 400 that you are also doing the 800 otherwise you may be shut out of the half because you are staged for the 400 while the call for the 800 goes out. If heats or sections are run ask the official to put you in the first section of the 400 and the last heat of the 800.
Good luck!
no it is a duel meet
there is only 1 heat of each and no clerk, but they are so close, i was wondering how i should refuel.[quote]wineturtle wrote:
My advice would be to win on as little of effort as possible in the 400, have some water, go back and do it again in the 800!
That's kind of a crazy double so I would guess that you're doing it as a workout of sorts anyway. Unless your coach is going to put the rest of the team in heats of the 110H, I doubt there's much you can do to "recharge" your legs in the 5-10mins you'll have.
It should be interesting to see how this turns out. Write back and tell us how you did.
Good Luck,

sit down for 2-3 minutes and elevate your legs to drain the lactic acid, sip some water, jog for a couple a minutes, stride and go
don't bother with the strides, you'll have just run a hard 400 and they would not be necessary. When training for the 800 with a post collegiate team, we would run all out 400's with very little recovery in between. During those workouts, I would just sit, and if I had enough time, put my legs up. If not, sit, catch my breath, not think about the next one til the call was made, then when it was, just think about that interval and go run it. That's not too bad of a double, I did it a lot in high school...as long as you can win the 400 without going all out...if you must go all out in the 4, you're in for a world of hurt. good luck.
