    I was the guy with pink hair who said spencer would run 49.3. I met both specer and ally at this meet and can confirm they are just as nice and funny in person as on camera. Keep up the good work!

    Let's just say this... Running a 1:51 off the pace you have at present is pretty remarkable...
    Time to start cracking out some 200's with LONG recoveries...

    Spence, you’ve always been a naturally fast runner who’s trained for middle and distance events. You’re strong. Now is the time to learn how to sprint. Learn how to run like a sprinter ie. form and power. If you can lengthen your stride with some weight room lifting and maintain your current training you can be world class! Keep it up man! ❤

    • @shanegill5091

      He needs to lengthen his stride but it can't be forced.
      Also armswing seems a little fast/choppy. I think a combination of strength and flexibility training can only help.

    Not sure what your 200m split was, but it looked like you went out a little too aggressively. If you'd taken a little off early on you'd probably have been able to close faster and would have run under 52.0. I think you're definitely in around 51.5 shape right now.

      Different point in training, he was a young guy hammering speed workouts and won his PR race by .1, in this 400 he had no one near and his training hasn't been as focused. I'm sure he'll be down to 49 speed sooner or later.

    If you add 4-5 seconds to a 400m time that is you 800m pace if you have great aerobic strength. Spence ran a 52 so he fastest he could run an 800m right now is about 1:52. His mile pace is about 60-62, so he can run around 4:00-4:08. He needs to get faster or it’s impossible for his times to drop anymore. The good thing is building speed is the easy part. I feel like he could be a lot faster if he trained speed all year round. That sounds like a letsrun post 😐
