i run a 400 meter in about 2 minutes. is that good? I am 18 and want to run in the olympics someday.?

Question

I am a good athlete> I do shotput and discuss.

Answer 1

The average olympian runs the 400 meter in around 45 seconds.

Answer 2

No, that isn't good enough for olympics. I suck at the 400 and I can run it in about 1 minute and 25 seconds. You will have to train more, atleast a few day a week, to get faster. Do a time trial every three weeks of training.

Answer 3

Not really a good time. even in the mile the Average person runs 400 Meters in less then 1:30 and they run that 4 strait times.

Answer 4

no, that is not good....but if you are running the 40 in under 4 seconds you don't need to worry about the 400. olympians run the 400 in around 45 while most colleges would be happy to have someone who runs in the 48-52 range. keep trying and keep asking these stupid questions.

Answer 5

2 minutes is a slow time for a high school 800 meters if you want to go to college, much less the Olympics. Stick with the shot put and discus.

Answer 6

Are you sure your not running a further distance. I think I could do 400 in 2 minutes and I'm not much of a runner.

Answer 7

no sorry .....well the best i can say is if you really want to be in the olympics you have to run much faster and that means train train train buddy!

i am 14 and im a girl and i can run the 400mdash in 70seconds and this is my first time doing track so yea u are 4years older than me maby you just need a little push but best of luck to you =)

Answer 8

I threw the shot and the disc primarily and was built for it. I ran just to keep my wind and give me speed through the circle. My slowest time ever was 58 sec. p.s. I weighed 270 lbs at the time.. Keep on runnin and do plenty o' sprints.

Answer 9

dude I can run it at 1.07 and I'm a 14 year distance runner let that speak for it self

Answer 10

Are you crawling?
