Been following you for a while. Like what...Lucho,<br /><br />Been following you for a while. Like what your doing. Although no where near the runner you are, I am embarking on something similar to you. I never competed in HS or College, just a recreational runner but after years of 5K, 10K and Ascent. I want to see what I can do for 400. I think you should look into Tabata Sprints. 8X20s sprint as hard as you can with 10s rest between each 20s. You want to die at the end but I think this is great training for the last 100m of the 400. I have been doing them for the last 4 weeks and have seen some very nice improvement in sprint speed endurance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-89132292027408170912012-08-31T07:31:37.574-06:002012-08-31T07:31:37.574-06:00Trev- The 400 and 800 are pretty much worlds apart...Trev- The 400 and 800 are pretty much worlds apart. One's a sprint and the other is mid-distance. Hopefully I can run both and I'll certainly race a few miles too. <br /> 8 Weeks is enough time if you're not too far off from where you need to be. If you haven't run over 10 miles in the last 10 months then you're kind of screwed. But starting this last 8 weeks with solid fitness is OK. You'll want to get at least 4 20 milers in the next 6 weeks.

Why 400 and not 800...Good luck with your new goal. <br />Why 400 and not 800 or the mile?<br /><br /><br />I have an extremely cheeky question to ask!<br /><br />I'm 8 weeks and 3 days out from a Marathon and have yet to start doing long runs... Do you think it's possible to 'do something good' in such short time?Trevhttp://www.theroadtokona.senoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-29465008180537644262012-08-30T18:37:31.143-06:002012-08-30T18:37:31.143-06:00G- Ya, I hear you and I feel that too. As I said I...G- Ya, I hear you and I feel that too. As I said I have a bit to learn and I'm not sure about a few aspects. Can I throw in a long run every couple weeks? Or a 3 hour bike? I think so. If I were already a pure 400 runner then maybe not, but those long hit-outs for me will most likely not have much if any negative effect. Plus, I don't want to totally lose touch with some of my current fitness/ what I like to do, so I am willing to flub it. And if I can run a 53 while retaining a certain amount of endurance then I'll certainly run a fast 5k next fall :) It's all a big experiment, we'll see!

I think you get something out of a 3 hour session (bike or run) that you might have a tough time giving up.GZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623054918799881730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-39619909640742640772012-08-30T14:56:57.342-06:002012-08-30T14:56:57.342-06:00Too bad I've already signed up for Lake Tahoe:...Too bad I've already signed up for Lake Tahoe:).

Can't WAIT to train with you again! <br /><br />P.- Sub 53" would put me maybe top 5 in the US for 40-44 Masters. It's very much an arbitrary time and if I apply myself like I did Ironman or Leadman then I know I can go much faster. But 53" is a good starting point. <br /> And ya, the long run of 5 miles is still something I have questions about. Since I usually warm-up for 5 miles... is it ok or even better for me to run longer than that? Like I said, I have a lot to learn but I have very good intuition so I'll probably just do what feels right.
