Hey guys i was wondering what a hard 400/800 practice would look like?
Most of the time i work with the mid distance guys, but once in a while i get sent off with the distance guys to do a 3-4 mile run and then do a little bit of track work.
With the mid distance guys we typically do lots of 200’s and 400’s.
So it would be
– 4×200 at 30-33 seconds, straight into a dog after you finish the 200(make it back in around 60 seconds) then a 2min rest

– 4-6×400 65-72 straight into a jog 100m 3:30 rest

– 4×200 30-33 straight into a dog after you finish the 200(make it back in around 60 seconds) then a 2min rest

For distance it would be like a 3-4 mile run then 100m strides or something on the track.

Iv never found a legitimate track workout online and i was wondering what other people are doing…

The energy systems involve for 400 and 800 are completely different you can’t work both in the same session especially in the format you have sampled.

So what are the different energy systems, and what would each one of those workouts look like?
