I ran this in my first track meet and...well I don’t even wanna talk about it😂 also did 400m hurdles then a 800m after that and I will NEVER do that shit again
Cequan Walker I had a meet today and ran my 400 in exactly 1 minute. Then I had to go run an 800 (which I’m usually pretty good at) and absolutely bombed it. I wound up throwing up at the end😂
later on in my season this year we did this session: regular warm up, 3 x 60m at about 75%, then a 300m (85%) followed by a 50m (95%) 20 seconds after you finish the 300m, you take a 5 minute break and then do a 250m (85%) followed by a 100m (95%) 20 seconds after you finish the 250m. Highly recommend this as I run 200m and 400m
I've been a sprinter for awhile but never really put in the work, this year's season I put in far more effort and I feel like it payed off, what distance did you come from?
"mechanical efficiency" in running can be trained but only for a bit. The majority of this efficiency will depend on the structure of the tendons in the legs, especially the Achilles's tendon, and so this will depend on genetics. If you have genetically good leg structure, you're already ahead of the curve. Of course you still have to train the aerobic/anaerobic systems too.
+Kalashnikov Cortez Mechanical efficiency can also be improved by reducing wasted effort. E.g - reducing lateral movement whilst running to increase linear movement efficiency. Posture and form through the posterior chain will also help initiate a better strike down on the track under the hips so as to minimize braking forces whilst running. All that being said, athletes like Christoph LeMaitre and Kirani James are still running ragged towards the end of their races.

I just had a track meet yesterday and ran 200 meter dash the way his 200 meter video said to do it and I got 1st in my heat and that was the first 200 meter run I’ve ever ran in my life
When people were judging your arm movement I was like “surely he isn’t that bad”. If I ran like you I think my coach would probably either kick me or cry😂 Awesome it works for you but before I got training I ran like you and straight away my coach made sure to get rid of that sort of movement.
+Eric Hemming haha right on man, glad you like it. I've gained lots of knowledge over the years of training and competing at a very high level so I'm happy to give back to a sport that I love so much. Lots more coming!
I've been running the 400m to build in endurance. My current PB is 1.18.90. Down from 1.30.62 last week - mind you there is no out all out starts, or any periods of full speed YET. Hoping to reach the 1min mark and then maybe 50. Guessing I can top around 45, I'm not sure. The strat I use is go at half speed on the bend, and speed up a little on both straights, usually the last straight I've just about burned out. Before the last bend, I'm going into burning out. Big improvement from when I started, when I had nothing left at the end of the first straight. Really missing how I was in top running form when I was 16. I'm a natural sprinter, made for 100m but that near 2 decade hiatus knocked me off the mountain(also known as working full time retail). Gonna get back on it, and you're gonna hear about it. These videos inspired me to keep trying.
Hi Jaret, what is the diference of running decreasing distance and increasing distance Difference between running 300-400-500-400-300 or 500-400-300-400-500
Ok. 2018 spring. It was my first track season. I ran the 400 meter dash. I never ran Track. But then I worked everyday and every night. I ended up placing every meet. I made it to CIC and County. The 400 changed my life and I’m training still for my 400
+Jaret Campisi When I run the 400m, I usually get like 1:20 but I want my average at 1:15 the last 100m is so hard, I need to be able to run the same speed over their
Hey man! recently started watching your videos and so far loving what I've seen. I'm an 800 runner and was wondering if you had any tips for the 800? and more specifically the last 200 of the race, which is so crucial, and I feel that i need to greatly improve on.
Hey buddy! Glad you're digging the videos. I've run the 800 a few times on 400 meter training and was actually able to put down some decent times (1:53 ish). As for the last 200 meter that's going to be a combination of your strength endurance training and how smart you ran the race. If you don't conserve energy properly you'll have issues finishing the race.
Running as hard as you can the entire time is not how you will run your fastest times in any race. I've got a track and field playlist on my channel so head on over there and check it out for more informational videos
I’m a Junior in High School and in my sophomore year, I ran a 1:05 for the 400m and a 31.10 for the 200m but this year I hit 28.40 in practice and I was wondering if it was realistic to approach 26-27 for the 200m and 58-59 in the 400m (Also I know I’m ass, but I just started doing track as a 10th grader, so I’m very inexperienced with this stuff)
my track coach said she didn’t figure out how to run the 400 correctly until stated her senior year and she won. Don’t expect yourself to be good the first year of training hard. races, especially this one, take time to figure out because everyone runs them differently
My best 400 is a 57 and my best 300 is a 40, how can I work on my final stretch which is where I feel like I struggle the most (these were my pr from my 10th grade year, My 11th grade year season starts in about 2-3 months)
I’m an 8th grader, 14 y/o and my pr is 53.5. That’s second in my state for age group and I want to be at 51 or less by the end of next years track season.
+Hisham Morsi I will add it to the list...its not an event that is run very often so there aren't a bunch of peeps looking for that specific race. It would be very similar to the 400 with a smaller float phase. If you watch my "how to run a 400" video that would put you on the right track and then you could make adjustments from there based on what works best for you.
+Colossus Fitness I actually ran the 800 a few times when they needed me to run on our National 4x8 team in highschool...I believe I split 1:53 ish or something around there...you can still run great 800's off of 400 meter training for sure.
+Jaret Campisi haha shit, I did not enjoy the 800 at all. People always said the 400 hurdles were the worst race in track but I personally thought the 800 was worse...could have just been my training but man I did not like it. haha
+Jaret Campisi hahah I guess because you were a sprinter. That would make sense though! I mainly did 1500 and 3000m so that's why I liked 800 more. I did the 2000m steeple chase for a year and it was death 😂
I also run the 200. For me, I've always just completely sprinted it. I build up to my fastest speed within the first 80 meters and then level out. The 400 however is different.
Good tips. I’ve been running track for 8 years now and this helped lots (btw, fix your sprint form; arms should be moving hip to pit and heels shouldn’t be kicking your butt)
Hi Jaret, thank u for the video, little question : let's say you're in your Speed Endurance Cycle and u train 5-6 times a week, u can do 500-450-300 etc once or twice I guess, but what would u do the other days ? Fartleck, 120, 150, technique drills... ? Thanks
Oh you just vary the distances and rest times but keep the intensity similar depending on what part of the season you're in...there are millions of workouts you can do just depends what you want to work on. I'll be putting up lots more workouts in the future for you guys so stay tuned.
+Jcoach Zelemi yes I feel much slower at this body weight. I competed in college around 157 lbs and now that I'm 180 I'm not even that much stronger since I've been lifting for size not strength so yea def slower.
The 400m run requires the efficient use of the five energy systems that fuel biochemical/bio-mechanical movement, more commonly called running. We do off season, preseason, mid season, and championship season training based on these energy systems. The only heavy volume running is done in the off season and this is done for only two weeks. By preseason my runners never run farther than 350 meters during a practice session. With this method I have brought 16 and 17 year old boys down from 51 secs to 47 and 48 seconds in one season. This year I had a 13 year girl run a 56.32 400m. When she came to me 4 years ago she ran the 400 in 1.07:5. Another 13 year girl last year ran 1.07. This year she ran 1.00.03. Fast 200m times are needed to run a fast 400m in general, although some 800m runners with good foot speed can also do well in the 400m event.
love the video, going to have to suggest to my coach. we do 2 of each run from the 100m to 600m at 75% with about a minute break in between each one then work our way down again..I like the sound of this one better!
+Dorion Cipriani 1 min break seems really short dear god...yeah def give this one a shot. Its a great workout. I'll be posting more in the future so stay tuned!
I am a teenager and tomorrow I have a very important 400 meter race today I got 1:15.78 but I need to cut down a lot of my time by about 15 or 12 seconds. I need to get faster within a day. Can you please help? Thank you!
Can you please discuss why are you resting for 5 minutes? I'm a 400m runner - that is my main event and when I do those strength and endurance workouts i usually rest not more than 3 minutes and its like 3 x 300 or 5 x 200. Every comment is appreciated I love advices you are giving away. Thanks
I am in my first year in college and I am currently not on the track team. Ive ran track my junior and senior years in hs and my PR in the 400 was 50.32 but in the 4x4 (1st leg) i ran between 48.6 and 49.2 ish (big difference sorry lol). Do you think its worth it for me to give it a chance at walking on at D1 school or should I just work on experience at a D2 or so?
Ovalle_22 its a lil late for this cuz most colleges have closed their admissions but it depends on the program. email coaches and they can tell you what their program gives. some D2 schools are better than D1 schools
Hey UA-cam, I’m 13 years old and in seventh grade and I play soccer. I just ran a 400 with a time of 1:00. Should I consider running track? (I haven’t had any running training other than playing soccer)
I'm 13, and I run a: 100m: 13.5 400m: 1:18 1600m: 7:03 Just got into running, no training, and no workout. Can anyone suggest any workouts/training to get my times lower?
Victor Lim working on technique is the most important part of running . What i usually do during the week is do b-skips , high knees , a-skips , running b-skips and butt kicks for 20 meters than sprint out pumping your arms . Make sure to do them almost everyday so your body can get used to doing those drills . Everynight focus on your core because you cant run without a core so do around 200 situps or untill it burns and 6-inch leg lifts for 2 minutes . And for running the 400-800 i do three 300s , five 150’s and 4 50 meter sprints . And i promise youll get them times down . I ran a 56 last year in the 400 and right now im sitting at a 51.8 and my pr for the 200 is 21.9 . Good luck
I've got a bunch of videos in the track and field playlist on my channel. I also have a run faster program available here that would be perfect for you. www.jcampfit.com/store/p29/run_faster_-_off_season_track_program.html
The complete 400 meter sprinter has to train above the distance (800m), race distance (400) and below distance (200), never neglect speed in any part of the training year.
I've been doing a ton of off season workouts on my channel. Just check out the track playlist. I also have a Run Faster Off season program available here: www.jcampfit.com/store/p29/run_faster_-_off_season_track_program.html
I was told my arm movement is incorrect ever since I started running, and for the most part you are correct. However, that is what feels most comfortable to me and I was able to compete at a very high level in track so you don't always have to have "perfect" running form to do well :)
The way your running these reps are at a tempo pace. Yes the workout your doing is good speed endurance for 400s if your running these close to 100% Seriously if you want to set an example. Set the example not look like your jogging it Your body build is more a 100&200 And lastly what the fuck are those arms doing Source: I ran 400s
+Justin DeSalvo track def helped build my physique and give me the lean athletic look...but as for building size and round muscles thats the weight lifting. I like to have a combination of both so I look athletic and kinda greek godish. Drives the ladies nuts :)
Hey coach, I'm a freshman at Millbrook high school going on to sophomore year and my best 400 time was 57.94 but this year was my first year running the 400 just wanted to know if that's a good time for my grade level And if that's a good time overall . And I also run the 200 my fastest time was 24.84 this year
Gerald brown Texas is different. More athletes, better schools, better coaches, more funding, more track programs for kids, etc. I knew a kid who moved to Texas his sophomore year who did the 800m and 1600m. His PR that year was 2:09 and 4:52. When he moved to Texas his junior year he got down to 1:59 and 4:33, then 1:55 and 4:24 his senior season. That's a heck of a work ethic to be able to be able to excel like that.
400 runner here, good work out and tips but honestly your running technique is really bad, you barely move your arms, you also have long legs but your stride sucks
haha yeah i've been training for body building the past 2 years so I've put on over 20 lbs and haven't been running as much so my form as definitely suffered. I make these videos to share my knowledge and to help others so hopefully you can look past my less than perfect form :)
Oof. I remember getting that in the beginning of the season. After practicing like Jared, My PB is now 1:04.37s. I didn’t think it would have worked but it did
I have time trials on Wednesday and I have always wanted to be the best I can possibly be. I never felt like I was trying hard enough in previous years and decided to actually train and work my butt off. I have ran in relays (200m and once 400m) I actually used to come in first in my elementary years but now I'm in middle school and feel like trash. I'm gonna go and practice on Tuesday after track , then take an ice bath and get as much rest as possible lmao so I'm not really sore. I'm gonna try the 100m, 200m, and 400m just to get all my times in. I'm also going to apply your techniques to all my races. Hopefully i can practice and remember some techniques and if I do get in a relay or even better then that a 100m, 200m, or 400m race, then I can have more time to practice those techniques and be even better at them when the track meet starts. I'll probably post an update to this comment and see how this goes. I'm hoping to be a little better then before but I,m gonna try my absolute hardest.
+Bob Lee this would be the entire workout for 1 practice. At Penn State we never did more than 3 running workouts each week, separated by a day off (technique day between). I'll be putting up lots more workouts so stay tuned.
For that work out you should try and hit 400m "55-57" 300m "38-40" 200m "23-28" that what I do and dropped from 50.55 to 47.34 and during season do a lot a 250,200,150 and starts better start u got quicker ya time gonna be

When people were judging your arm movement I was like “surely he isn’t that bad”.
If I ran like you I think my coach would probably either kick me or cry😂
Awesome it works for you but before I got training I ran like you and straight away my coach made sure to get rid of that sort of movement.
Always love seeing the journey of other entrepreneurs, keep doing what you're doing! 🚀
Loving the info on the 400 your giving us man! Keep it coming fosho haha
+Eric Hemming haha right on man, glad you like it. I've gained lots of knowledge over the years of training and competing at a very high level so I'm happy to give back to a sport that I love so much. Lots more coming!
I've been running the 400m to build in endurance.
My current PB is 1.18.90. Down from 1.30.62 last week - mind you there is no out all out starts, or any periods of full speed YET. Hoping to reach the 1min mark and then maybe 50. Guessing I can top around 45, I'm not sure. The strat I use is go at half speed on the bend, and speed up a little on both straights, usually the last straight I've just about burned out. Before the last bend, I'm going into burning out. Big improvement from when I started, when I had nothing left at the end of the first straight. Really missing how I was in top running form when I was 16. I'm a natural sprinter, made for 100m but that near 2 decade hiatus knocked me off the mountain(also known as working full time retail). Gonna get back on it, and you're gonna hear about it. These videos inspired me to keep trying.
Hi Jaret, what is the diference of running decreasing distance and increasing distance
Difference between running 300-400-500-400-300 or 500-400-300-400-500
there isn't much of a difference really
I was here a year ago trying to break my pr of 1:08, I did, now I’m back trying to break 58 and get 56 lol. I’ve put so much work in
Hey I'm 6.9 years old and run the 400m in 41 seconds with no training. Is that good?
No
caffeineaddict yea you should quit that's terrible
caffeineaddict lies🙄
Matthew Pueschner the fastest time ever is like 40 seconds
caffeineaddict ummm ya that's a decent time, but once you get to that 4.20 time, you know you'll be good
I really enjoy your videos! Who's here watching these in 2020? 😀👍
Thanks for the 5 minute intro to explain what you're doing
Ok. 2018 spring. It was my first track season. I ran the 400 meter dash. I never ran Track. But then I worked everyday and every night. I ended up placing every meet. I made it to CIC and County. The 400 changed my life and I’m training still for my 400
+Jaret Campisi
When I run the 400m, I usually get like 1:20 but I want my average at 1:15 the last 100m is so hard, I need to be able to run the same speed over their
Btw I'm going to state in 1 month so plz help me
+Imtheminecraftpiggy last hundred is just mental strength and pushing ur limits. everyybody is broken so its not really speed
Make sure your form doesn't go to crap for that last 100.
And also 1:15? Unless ur like 10 idk what state ur in. I'm 13 and I'm not that great 64.3 pb
OMG I'm sorry but that is slow you need to run a 65 to even get looked at
This is a fantastic video my dude. Nailed everything on the head. Keep up the good work.
+Haden Konopik right on man, appreciate that. Lots more videos coming so stay tuned!
Hey man! recently started watching your videos and so far loving what I've seen.
I'm an 800 runner and was wondering if you had any tips for the 800?
and more specifically the last 200 of the race, which is so crucial, and I feel that i need to greatly improve on.
Hey buddy! Glad you're digging the videos. I've run the 800 a few times on 400 meter training and was actually able to put down some decent times (1:53 ish). As for the last 200 meter that's going to be a combination of your strength endurance training and how smart you ran the race. If you don't conserve energy properly you'll have issues finishing the race.
Thanks! Appreciate it :)
First practice of the season tomorrow! So excited 😁
Also for the 200m is it possible to top speed the whole race
Running as hard as you can the entire time is not how you will run your fastest times in any race. I've got a track and field playlist on my channel so head on over there and check it out for more informational videos
Jaret Campisi what should u be doing during the 5min rest periods between sets?
Jaret Campisi what should u be doing during the 5min rest periods between sets?
after 400 m you should keep walking not sit down and relax . if you sit then while running next 300 you will tight your legs
Thatgamerdownthestreet
U dont mean literally ,right ? Lol. Just like super exhausted ..? U mean ?
I’m a Junior in High School and in my sophomore year, I ran a 1:05 for the 400m and a 31.10 for the 200m but this year I hit 28.40 in practice and I was wondering if it was realistic to approach 26-27 for the 200m and 58-59 in the 400m (Also I know I’m ass, but I just started doing track as a 10th grader, so I’m very inexperienced with this stuff)
Update: I ran a 24.5 and a 55.8 in my junior year. I’m trying to hit 23 and 52 this year to finish my high school career
I have been working on it and improved
my track coach said she didn’t figure out how to run the 400 correctly until stated her senior year and she won. Don’t expect yourself to be good the first year of training hard. races, especially this one, take time to figure out because everyone runs them differently
My best 400 is a 57 and my best 300 is a 40, how can I work on my final stretch which is where I feel like I struggle the most (these were my pr from my 10th grade year, My 11th grade year season starts in about 2-3 months)
mono mono he literally said in the vid, just train hard and do the right type of training
I’m an 8th grader, 14 y/o and my pr is 53.5. That’s second in my state for age group and I want to be at 51 or less by the end of next years track season.
Can you do a 300m dash tutorial? I'm in need.
+Hisham Morsi I will add it to the list...its not an event that is run very often so there aren't a bunch of peeps looking for that specific race. It would be very similar to the 400 with a smaller float phase. If you watch my "how to run a 400" video that would put you on the right track and then you could make adjustments from there based on what works best for you.
Jaret Campisi Awesome! I've watched both videos, thanks Jaret your the best! :)
He’s a runna he a track star 🕺🏻🏃♀️
LMAOOAOA
im not sure if you've mentioned this before but have you ran the 800m before for a race or just the shorter distances?
+Colossus Fitness I actually ran the 800 a few times when they needed me to run on our National 4x8 team in highschool...I believe I split 1:53 ish or something around there...you can still run great 800's off of 400 meter training for sure.
Jaret Campisi that's crazy man, you're a beast haha. yeah most definitely, i liked 800m more than 400m back in high school!
+Jaret Campisi haha shit, I did not enjoy the 800 at all. People always said the 400 hurdles were the worst race in track but I personally thought the 800 was worse...could have just been my training but man I did not like it. haha
+Jaret Campisi hahah I guess because you were a sprinter. That would make sense though! I mainly did 1500 and 3000m so that's why I liked 800 more. I did the 2000m steeple chase for a year and it was death 😂
+Jaret Campisi 800 to me was basically a sprint like the 400 but just 2 times longer and everyone seemed to die out the Last lap in my races ahah
I have a track meet today so that's why I am watching this wish me luck
I run the 100/200/4 by 100. For the 200, I go 90% in the first 100 meters then 100% and the last 100 meters. Is this the correct way to run it?
I also run the 200. For me, I've always just completely sprinted it. I build up to my fastest speed within the first 80 meters and then level out. The 400 however is different.
Good tips. I’ve been running track for 8 years now and this helped lots (btw, fix your sprint form; arms should be moving hip to pit and heels shouldn’t be kicking your butt)
Hi Jaret, thank u for the video, little question : let's say you're in your Speed Endurance Cycle and u train 5-6 times a week, u can do 500-450-300 etc once or twice I guess, but what would u do the other days ? Fartleck, 120, 150, technique drills... ?
Thanks
Oh you just vary the distances and rest times but keep the intensity similar depending on what part of the season you're in...there are millions of workouts you can do just depends what you want to work on. I'll be putting up lots more workouts in the future for you guys so stay tuned.
+Jaret Campisi Will do thanks !
Last question, do u feel a lot slower now that u've gained 20 pounds or just not at the optimal weight ?
+Jcoach Zelemi yes I feel much slower at this body weight. I competed in college around 157 lbs and now that I'm 180 I'm not even that much stronger since I've been lifting for size not strength so yea def slower.
+Jaret Campisi too bad. We always have to make choices... Gotta say it's hard for me. Thank u very much for taking the time to answer
The 400m run requires the efficient use of the five energy systems that fuel biochemical/bio-mechanical movement, more commonly called running. We do off season, preseason, mid season, and championship season training based on these energy systems. The only heavy volume running is done in the off season and this is done for only two weeks. By preseason my runners never run farther than 350 meters during a practice session. With this method I have brought 16 and 17 year old boys down from 51 secs to 47 and 48 seconds in one season. This year I had a 13 year girl run a 56.32 400m. When she came to me 4 years ago she ran the 400 in 1.07:5. Another 13 year girl last year ran 1.07. This year she ran 1.00.03. Fast 200m times are needed to run a fast 400m in general, although some 800m runners with good foot speed can also do well in the 400m event.
love the video, going to have to suggest to my coach. we do 2 of each run from the 100m to 600m at 75% with about a minute break in between each one then work our way down again..I like the sound of this one better!
+Dorion Cipriani 1 min break seems really short dear god...yeah def give this one a shot. Its a great workout. I'll be posting more in the future so stay tuned!
+Jaret Campisi awesome, can't wait!
I ran a 54.4 in 8th grade & now my time seems to be going back to the 57’s🤮
I am a teenager and tomorrow I have a very important 400 meter race today I got 1:15.78 but I need to cut down a lot of my time by about 15 or 12 seconds. I need to get faster within a day. Can you please help? Thank you!
thank you so freaken much
Can you please discuss why are you resting for 5 minutes? I'm a 400m runner - that is my main event and when I do those strength and endurance workouts i usually rest not more than 3 minutes and its like 3 x 300 or 5 x 200. Every comment is appreciated I love advices you are giving away. Thanks
I am in my first year in college and I am currently not on the track team. Ive ran track my junior and senior years in hs and my PR in the 400 was 50.32 but in the 4x4 (1st leg) i ran between 48.6 and 49.2 ish (big difference sorry lol).
Do you think its worth it for me to give it a chance at walking on at D1 school or should I just work on experience at a D2 or so?
Ovalle_22 its a lil late for this cuz most colleges have closed their admissions but it depends on the program. email coaches and they can tell you what their program gives. some D2 schools are better than D1 schools
Hey UA-cam, I’m 13 years old and in seventh grade and I play soccer. I just ran a 400 with a time of 1:00. Should I consider running track? (I haven’t had any running training other than playing soccer)
UPDATE: I have ran in two meets so far and now I’m running a 56.89, hopefully by the end of the season I can run in the 55’s
How can I Improve from a 1:03 to a 58
How old are you
+KMatt other guy
I'm 1:01 rn
train....
Work on speed or endurance and then come up with a race plan I went from a 1:02 to a 59.3
And also what should I focus more on the 200 or the 400 depending on my times. 200:(24.84) 400:(57.94)
200
+Andrew R mostly my coaches wanna keep me in both cause I'm a long sprinter and I have a long stride and I'm skinny
+Andrew R mostly my coaches wanna keep me in both cause I'm a long sprinter and I have a long stride and I'm skinny

100m: 13.5
400m: 1:18
1600m: 7:03
Just got into running, no training, and no workout. Can anyone suggest any workouts/training to get my times lower?
Victor Lim working on technique is the most important part of running . What i usually do during the week is do b-skips , high knees , a-skips , running b-skips and butt kicks for 20 meters than sprint out pumping your arms . Make sure to do them almost everyday so your body can get used to doing those drills . Everynight focus on your core because you cant run without a core so do around 200 situps or untill it burns and 6-inch leg lifts for 2 minutes . And for running the 400-800 i do three 300s , five 150’s and 4 50 meter sprints . And i promise youll get them times down . I ran a 56 last year in the 400 and right now im sitting at a 51.8 and my pr for the 200 is 21.9 . Good luck
Your 100m time is good but you have awful stamina for 400+ distance
relatively, your best event is probably 100
Stick with 100m that is fast
5:40 is when it actually starts
im a sophmore and i run a 53.5, but i wasnt dead after, im having trouble exerting all my energy throughout the 400m
Just sprint at the end
I ran a 57.46 in 400 rank second fast in my state 11-12
Venompvper Pvp your state trash
Ben Schramm he was 11

hey can u tell me some program that I can for aye 400m race
I've got a bunch of videos in the track and field playlist on my channel. I also have a run faster program available here that would be perfect for you.

I ran a 400m in 1:25 I’m in 6th and don’t do track. Should I try out?
U need to train me cuz I always get tired wen I get close to the finish line I always come in 2 in the 400m
I'd recommend my 200/400 run faster program. www.jcampfit.com/store/p32/200%2F400_Run_Faster_Program_%28In_Season%29.html
Me too bruh
The complete 400 meter sprinter has to train above the distance (800m), race distance (400) and below distance (200), never neglect speed in any part of the training year.
this is helpful because I run track
hi jarret, could you do some more videos for 400m work outs? your channel is so dope and helpful you've really helped so many people.
I've been doing a ton of off season workouts on my channel. Just check out the track playlist.
I also have a Run Faster Off season program available here:
www.jcampfit.com/store/p29/run_faster_-_off_season_track_program.html
Jaret Campisi thank you appreciate it really. i'll check em out, youve inspired me to follow my dreams forreal
Ur arm movement is incorrect
Because his arms is fit like big omg lol
I was told my arm movement is incorrect ever since I started running, and for the most part you are correct. However, that is what feels most comfortable to me and I was able to compete at a very high level in track so you don't always have to have "perfect" running form to do well :)
Jaret Campisi facts
Jaret Campisi REKT B
Jaret Campisi if it's not broke don't fix it
I ran 1:06 in 400 in grade 7 should i consider trying to do 400m at high school and get trained?
That's what I ran in High School as I stated getting better this was one of the times I ran
The way your running these reps are at a tempo pace. Yes the workout your doing is good speed endurance for 400s if your running these close to 100%
Seriously if you want to set an example. Set the example not look like your jogging it
Your body build is more a 100&200
And lastly what the fuck are those arms doing
Source: I ran 400s
benjamin denham b
i agree my coach gave me 400 training similar to how u explained the pyramid and I have really improved
+Daniel Binns very nice. good to hear some coaches know what they are doing. haha Keep up the good work. And stay tuned for lots more track content!
he is well renowned in my country among the high school coaches I'm in 8th grade and I am running 51.48
+Daniel Binns oh damn that's very impressive man. Keep up the good work. 👏👏
I wish my Coach taught me this
Jaret I run track and I do the 400 and I was wondering with your physique has track help u build your frame or is it just all the weightlifting
+Justin DeSalvo track def helped build my physique and give me the lean athletic look...but as for building size and round muscles thats the weight lifting. I like to have a combination of both so I look athletic and kinda greek godish. Drives the ladies nuts :)
I'm a freshman and I ran a 54:24 yesterday and am the 4th fastest freshman in CA
hunter Reynolds lmao I’m in 8th grade and ran a 54:13
Y'all see them muscles
Ayo fam I'm in 7th grade and do a 1:50, 400m without any training. What can I do to really minimize my time?
Hey coach, I'm a freshman at Millbrook high school going on to sophomore year and my best 400 time was 57.94 but this year was my first year running the 400 just wanted to know if that's a good time for my grade level And if that's a good time overall . And I also run the 200 my fastest time was 24.84 this year
U got a good future in running.
Your 200m is really good just work on that 400
In texas thats dirt slow
Michael Emeto but its hard to tell where youll be so keep training a 24 means youve got talent how much idk
Gerald brown Texas is different. More athletes, better schools, better coaches, more funding, more track programs for kids, etc. I knew a kid who moved to Texas his sophomore year who did the 800m and 1600m. His PR that year was 2:09 and 4:52. When he moved to Texas his junior year he got down to 1:59 and 4:33, then 1:55 and 4:24 his senior season. That's a heck of a work ethic to be able to be able to excel like that.
Thanks for the info. Should I use spikes for 400 m runs?
400 runner here, good work out and tips but honestly your running technique is really bad, you barely move your arms, you also have long legs but your stride sucks
haha yeah i've been training for body building the past 2 years so I've put on over 20 lbs and haven't been running as much so my form as definitely suffered. I make these videos to share my knowledge and to help others so hopefully you can look past my less than perfect form :)

Tommy XS boyy jarets a beast he knows what he's doing, his 100m PR was like in the 10 second time range.
I ran 1:01.39 to open up my season in 400m. I’m training for decathlon.
Im 14 and I can run the 400 in .0004 sec is that good?

That's a shit time. I do it in .000000000001 secs and I'm only 4
So it's the end of my outdoor season but I want to run during the summer, what workout would you recommend for the 400 after my season? Thanks
I run 400m in 1:10:92 and select for state

I’m a junior in HS and run a 54sec 400m. The school record is 49.4. My goal is to beat that by senior year
I do a 400 in roughly 1:19. I really want to drop 14 seconds
Oof. I remember getting that in the beginning of the season. After practicing like Jared, My PB is now 1:04.37s. I didn’t think it would have worked but it did
How much should you weigh for a 400? Besides bolt is their any larger athletes that run it in the olympics?
I used this strategy and ran a 57.5 and I'm in 7th grade (plus I'm a girl) so thank you, I took first!

I have time trials on Wednesday and I have always wanted to be the best I can possibly be. I never felt like I was trying hard enough in previous years and decided to actually train and work my butt off. I have ran in relays (200m and once 400m) I actually used to come in first in my elementary years but now I'm in middle school and feel like trash. I'm gonna go and practice on Tuesday after track , then take an ice bath and get as much rest as possible lmao so I'm not really sore. I'm gonna try the 100m, 200m, and 400m just to get all my times in. I'm also going to apply your techniques to all my races. Hopefully i can practice and remember some techniques and if I do get in a relay or even better then that a 100m, 200m, or 400m race, then I can have more time to practice those techniques and be even better at them when the track meet starts. I'll probably post an update to this comment and see how this goes. I'm hoping to be a little better then before but I,m gonna try my absolute hardest.
You need to learn how to move your arms
Hey brother can you tell me how to increase leg speed.My 400m all out is 66sec .I have no leg speed I want my speed around 55sec please help
It's good na
Bakvas h
Quick question. How many of these (the 400, 300, 200, 300, 400 workout) do you recommend per practice/ week.
+Bob Lee this would be the entire workout for 1 practice. At Penn State we never did more than 3 running workouts each week, separated by a day off (technique day between). I'll be putting up lots more workouts so stay tuned.
For that work out you should try and hit 400m "55-57" 300m "38-40" 200m "23-28" that what I do and dropped from 50.55 to 47.34 and during season do a lot a 250,200,150 and starts better start u got quicker ya time gonna be
+Orlando hell yeah man congrats! That's a legit 400 meter time right there. Keep up the good work.
For 47 runner your times should be 50-52; 35-37: 23-24 if you are using nearly full recovery : 8 mins
plot twist: the guy who beeped at the start was just his dad trying to say hi
Hey I'm 15 yrs n im running a average of 50s in my 400 with training but the problem is the last 50m does give me a lot of problems. Can u give me a tip or upload a vidoe so the public and i can be educated about that essencial part of the race.
