What is the best technique for running the 400m?

Question

is there any special thing you need to do. such as take off for a certain distance and just go all out the other, breathing, arm movement, etc.

Answer 1

Start the race as you would the 100. When you get to top speed in about 40 meters relax. You should come through the 200 about 2 seconds slower than your race 200 meters. When you are on the straight relax, stand tall, keep your arms moving so your stride does not shorten. Remember you are running fast do not try to run faster. When you start into the curve you must put out a little more effort to maintain your speed. As you come off the curve for the final straight, you are running as fast as you can for this part of the race. Relax, keep your arms moving so you can see them when they come up front. Drive the arms back, not down. Point your toes in a straight line (while keeping them dorsi-flexed) do not let yourself weave. Keep your stride frequency going do not slow down your cadence. Look beyond the finish line do not look at the finish line. You are going as fast as you can, do not try to run harder or faster, it will only slow you down. The second 200 is usually 2 seconds slower than the first 200 so you can figure about what your race time should be. The important things to remember are: start out hard, relax, keep your stride going, do not lose form by trying too hard, breath deeply do not gasp in short breaths.

Answer 3

Accelerate through the first 100, run fast but relaxed the next 200, concentrate on holding your form together the last 100.

You don't want to run an all-out sprint at any point -- you can't maintain it. If you can key on other runners in the middle of the race, you can get an idea of how much you can relax without falling back.

A lot of runners find it useful to concentrate on a slightly exaggerated arm swing the last 50. When you legs are dead, it's easier to think about moving your arms. And since your arms and legs are synchronized, you legs go along with your arms.

ido cross country and track too and i LOVE the 800meters at the start i go out with the pack naturally youll start off a little fast because of the adrenaline just feel out your stride til your around the first curve everyone should start to settle down after the first 200m or so try to keep in the middle of them and focus on your breathing posture and pacing after the first lap try to pick it up a little not too much just a tad when your around the first curve again stride out the straightaway when you hit the last 200 meters go leave everything on the track :)

Answer 6

I think the 400 is the toughest event. You really have to be sprinting. I think the trick is to sprint almost all out, but just hold back a tiny little bit. This gives you a psychological advantage because you feel like you're not going all out, but you're still actually going pretty fast.

I'd also reccomend getting spikes if you don't have em. I just got mine and they are amazing

The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program. It's primarily a 31 page eBook that teaches golfers how to make solid contact with the ball, how to avoid hitting fat, how to avoid slicing, how get more power, accuracy, and consistency in your swing. Consistency being the number 1 golf skill.

You not only get the eBook though, you also receive a ton of extra material including video, lessons on putting, driving, chipping, sand play etc. Here is their official site: http://www.golfswingguru.net

Answer 8

the 400 and 800 are my personal favorite races. both of these races require speed and pace. in a 100 its over before it starts. the only tip i can give you is not to go out to fast otherwise you will hit the wall and fall behind. keep a good pace than kick it in the end. don't all out sprint because that's not good technique. you'll learn your pace.

Answer 9

What worked best for me was to go almost all out for the first 200 and then just keep running.

Answer 10

id say to start out fast for the first 100/200 meters then get your pace then sprint again at the end. thats not really my way of doing it but it works for alot of people. if you want to win you pretty much have to give it your all in that race. good luck
