For a 4/8 guy you gotta be fast and enduring so I found what works is the off-season make half of your days sprint/top speed work and the other half long slow endurance. When cross season hits, double the mileage and go aerobic. After xc, refresh your speed with 1-2 weeks with the sprinters, then afterwards go full speed endurance with 1 long a week
Valerie Borzov the Russian sprinter who won gold in the Olympic 100m was spotted by Russian state coaches at age 14. He repeatedly did 100m sprint training but always had a long break between each repitition to avoid anaerobic lactate sprinting . The Russian Sports scientists recommended this form of training to achieve improved sprinting performance.
Interesting vid man... I used to run the 400 when I was a kid. That's def how I trained haha. We had no idea how to train for events like that 30 years ago.
@@LeonEdwardsFitnessOfficial world record 800m time is 50 seconds per lap which is still pretty damn fast, so if your good at both, your coach would probably make you do both for team points.
@@LeonEdwardsFitnessOfficial I run the 4 and 8 I mean if you’re running for a program they try and get you to run and score in as many things as possible
i get what you're saying but basketball players DO make good sprinters. With just a few lactate workouts they would make good 400m sprinters as well. But you NEED to be fast and explosive first before even thinking about being good at the 400. Speed and plyos are what's truly essential for all sprinters lactate workouts are just necessary supplements for the longer sprints. Hope this helps

With tthis, you can't at least have a headstart with speed instead of rushing a ton of lactate

I love this video. This is the only 400 video I've ever seen that talks about prioritizing speed and not "endurance"
thanks for your kind words!
endurance has no place for the 400 IMO
Check out Tony Holler/Feed the Cats also. Pure speed for fast people.
thanks for the info

yea bro, old school coaches thought the 400 needed lots of endurance
Yes i like this video , simple and effective!
thanks for the kind words!

Ok Tony holloward
what if I run the 4 and the 8
The 4 is for sprinters. Why would you do 4 and 8

@@stevespyder it would prevent your progress in the 400. 200/400 makes way more sense.

New sub but like whats the sauce
Whats the secret sauce though
Speed work & polymerics

Yeah, basketball players make great 400m runners. not
