GPP for 400m runnres

If you have time, try to read the Lactate Threshold discussion on the Forum. One hint - You have SPRINTERS (with some speed?), moving to 400m; they are still young … WHY do you want to include 600m’s in your programme?? Look at the programme examples of Kitkat - I am from the same ‘old’ school! - you can work on a maximum of 350m distance (occasionally a 500m as part of a test). The athletes WILL be prepared for a 400m.

My feeling is to develop and maintain the speed factor of the athletes … I do believe that training of 600m doesn’t have any purpose in your situation.

Hope I have convinced you!! Good luck with the coaching!

I will check it. However, Clyde Hart does with his athletes 2x 600m with rest 15min. during fall period. For 46s runner is run 60 for 400m and than maintain the rest of the distance. I thought do it with 65 s and the rest we will see. These athletes are in 51 sec. max for 400m.
