          hi everyone i am new here and i have been researching and reading much about the 400m and 400m hurdles. I am 19 years old former jumper that usually does the long,triple and high jump. Through many disappiontments and stuff through ears and years of practise. And even being curse by the coach that i am no good and means nothing to the team. After my sixteen placed in the high jump i decided that after our high school championships that i see that after being comforted by another coach he say that my potential was in the 400m and 400m hurdlers.
          So i was recommended here for some help on my training program.
          About me After two months of training my pr which was 72secs was changed to being 57.42 secs.
          Then one month within my training program of th two months i started to do the 400m hurdlers. i got a p.r of 59.87secs.
          This was a break down of the race 1st hurdle-6.43secs
          2nd hurdle-11.10secs
          200m -28.25secs
          300m-43.51secs

          So then i decided to dedicate every thing this training year to both the 400m and 400m hurdlers. After analysing much about myself i decided that instead of writing a training journal i would write a life journal of a athlete whose aim is 49secs and 52secs respectively. competition will be from january to May.

          I am in my last week of my six weeks rest and so i was doing something like a pre gpp.

          Pretty good. I would try and keep as much work as possible confined to grass. Also it looks like you are bounding 3x per week. This is ok as long as you limit your contacts and keep it low intensity.

          Thanks 400 stud for that. sorry guys for the late reply well its great starting training again. Well im in my gpp. based off my constant running on my toes i start feeling the muscles in my calves my coach said that it was due to the rest and the long time i havent train the body is trying to get  used to it.
          Because this time of the year is mostly long running i am eating food that are mostly consist of proteins and carbohydrate.
