OP did not ask if he should focus on 3200m. OP asked for advice to race sub-60 400m.

Lmao ur saying I need to do a different sport. So any other suggestions other than gaining weight?

You don't have enough mass for raw speed wrote:

As a young lad at the same or similar height & weight I was well under 60 seconds for 440 yards. Putting on ten pounds of mystery weight (some fat, some muscle) will not necessarily make one fast.

Average world class 400m sprinters is about 6'0 tall and 160 ibs. Your height and weight is about the height and weight for world class long distance runners and climbing specialist in cycling.

Well ok I understand. I’m still growing I could definitely hit 6’0 and put on weight and muscle

Height and weight of your parents?

Which event is your preferred event? Are you attempting to specialize as a 400m runner?

No I prefer 200s but my coach mostly put me in 4s

My mom 5’7 160? I’m not sure about the weight and my dad is like 5’10

Sorry to brake it to you but you're not going get much taller. Unless your dad is Dennis Rodman who grew like a foot after graduating high school. Me personally I stopped growing around 15 years old I might've gotten a half inch -inch and a half taller. Focus on what your body is made to do. Sure you could focus on being a sprinter, but you can only improve sprinting so much. Distance running you can improve so much more compared to sprinting.

200m pr?

Ok. Good. If you are training as a 200m & 400m runner, your times will come down in both events. Work on your core. Gluts and abs fitness are very important for those racing events 800m and shorter. If you continue to train for 200m & 400m, your times will go down.

Trying to break 60 in the 400 is a terrible way to train for cross country.

No wonder you don't like it.
