I'm a junior in high school and I think I could make it to states next year if I ran the 400m correlated to my 100m time. My pr's are
100m 11.51
200m 23.5
400m 59:xx (hand timed)
What can I do during the offseason to get my endurance up for the 400m? We do one day of endurance which was the first day of the practice week and the rest would either be speed training or working on form. I know it isn't technically off season, but I was kicked off the team for this season.
This forum has some good advice for 400 m training imo
Thanks for the link. I feel like this would be a good program after skimming through it.
Monday
Hill sprints x10-12
Tuesday
Extensive tempo
Wednesday
Flying 30s x5-10 with increasing acceleration zone
Thursday
Extensive tempo
Friday
Plyometrics or Wednesday's workout
Saturday
Yoga or something with flexibility work
Weight lifting 3-4 times a week
Have you resolved the issues that caused you to be removed from the team?
Have a chat with your sprint coach about that and how you really want to come back out next year dedicated and focused. Then tell him that you want to work in the 400 and want to know if he'll help you to focus on it.

a time of 23.5 in the 200m would imply ability between 52-54, given proper training
but also, given that 23.5 is a much better time than your 59, unless your team is absolutely stacked at that event, "being kicked off for your 400m time" doesn't really hold water
so what really happened?

He gave me a lecture of how lazy I am after I ran the 400 then kicked me off.
I call BS on that being why you were kicked off but going by your times you should be able to run at the very least 55 for 400. Or maybe you just have a large build and the worst endurance ever.

Ok. You can do that if you like. And yes I do have a pretty big build
