400m help!

Thank you for the explanation, that makes sense to me. I was going to give her the 8x200 w/2min rest. Would that be a good starting workout? Should we try to keep the total workout between 1000m-1500m for a 400 runner. Also, would it hurt to add some accelerations into the warm up?

thanks again.

You can add accels to the warm-up and the key is that she is able to finish the 200s session at the pace she started with- whatever that might be- up to a max speed of 75% of best time.
