My father who is 70 wants to run a 400m in a month. He used to run a while ago and he walks a few miles everyday. What kind of routine should he have to work up to running a 400m – (if his doctor says ok.)

i’m a freshman girl this year in highschool and i run about 59s for the 400 meter. My coach wants me to train for sprinting events, while I want to start doing mid-distance events. My 200meter time around 25.5s (27.5s indoors)and my mile time is 5:40. Do you think I should focus more on shorter or longer distannce events? I’m currently doing the 400meter and under

hi jimson!

i’m in high school and this athletics competition in our school is starting in two weeks time. we have different seasons at different times of the year and the soccer season just got over. i was on the soccer team, so i’m not physically lagging, and the athetic season just started and unfortunately, the term is coming to an end so they have preponed the competition.

i run the 400 and timed 59 last year. can u please advise me on what can i do in these two weeks to improve my timing? i’m 15 years of age at the moment. thank you!

@Reuben – if you just had surgery, I would focus on fitness and general strength first. Heath first. And yes, I would train on grass surfaces. Forget the track for a couple of months.

Hello,

Im in the process of recovering from surgery. I had a hernia fixed and, once im cleared i will pick up training for indoor 400 meter competition. Before my operation i was running 24×100 in 16.6-17.4 sec. grass strides with 30 sec rest, 4 mile runs, and plyosmertics (single,double leg hops, lunges for 25 meters). Im unsure if i should start with jogging or speed grass work when i return from my recovery and because i’ve trained earlier should I continue intense training for start off training light with maybe shorter distance workouts.

Thanks
