AboutRoss Dunton Expertise I will answer any technical question about track and field/athletics. I am a USATF Level 2 coach in the Sprints/Hurdles and in the Jumps. I specialized in the throws for three years.
Experience I have over twenty years of coaching experience. I am a comptetive 400/800/1500 runner.
Question I am 15 years old. I have started training for athletics opne month ago after doing well in recent school competitions. I can do the 100m in 11.6 seconds and triple jump for the West Midlands which my best is12.5 wind assisted but normally do about 11.8.
However, I feel I have the capacity to be a good 400m runner. What sort of things could I do to train myself for the 400m race e.g how should I train on the track and in the gym and what should I be eating?
Answer Sean,
To train for the 400 this is what you should do. On a track run 100 fast then slow down, turn around and jog back 50. Then turn around and run a fast 100. Continue doing this until you complete one lap. Do this once or twice a week. Don't eat anything special just eat what you usually eat.
