look like u r doing kelley vj bible workout. if u think its going to help u ran the 400 an lj better goodluck. if i were you i would train like a track guy:

three hard strength days and and three body circuits:
since this is the summer you should be during lots of general fitness stuff and working on acc development.

i think as a long sprinter/jumper u should be working short-long as far as speed work is concerned...just focus on lots of tempo/circuits during the gpp/spp phases

so i should do different kinds of plyometics cause i jump off 1 foot instead of two and train a little different way and not follow the vertical jump bible

dude he runs the 400m if any follow a middle to end.

i dont follow…

if u run the 400 u either go short-long or long-short???
--if these are the only 2 options then go short to long to get the best of both worlds..

i have never heard of middle-end? can u explain

short-to-long, long-to-short, or ends-to-middle training
