Me: 1. Pray 2. Pray 3. Pray 4. Pray

There’s really no training for the last 100m. You gotta keep yourself going no matter how you feel. It’s a mental game, how you finish is completely up to you and your body is gonna tell you no but you have to keep going.

I run the 400 and honestly when the pistol goes off forget about everything. The last 100 is the worst thing ever but you just have to power through.

The way that I run it, sprint the first 100 meters until you start reaching the last 200 curve mark. As you’re coming up to it start your quick strides. After hitting the 200 mark you sprint with what your mama gave you. Arms go up and knees aswell. And that’s how I’ve been improving my time from 55, 54, 53. Good competition and a mindset of wanting it more helps aswell. Get strong arms if you don’t have them. They’ll help you in the last 100. Goodluck everyone.

When you have you’re first track meet in five hours:😳
I’m running the 400 for the first time ever...🥲🥲🥲

I have to run a 51 to make regionals 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 UPDATE- ran a 52 i was the last to qualify for regionals 😬😂👐🏾

I have my 400m in 3 weeks and this was my previous plan.
1. Sprint for about 30-50m
2. Keep a steady and fast pace
3. Pray
4. Asthma puffer

Everyone, I’ll tell you the real truth when it comes to an actual meet and this comes from experience, this person is really planning it out extremely well and giving great tips, but when it comes to a real race, once that pistol goes off you zoom. You don’t think of anything and if you are all you’re thinking of is breathing and staying ahead, sure you can practice all of this and get it perfectly at practice, but when it comes to the 400 and you start to run it honestly all goes away and depends on your mental toughness.

But great video!

Bruh I still died in 400m it was so painful

so my coach put me in the 400 tmrw and im freaking out sm. Like my anxiety is out the roof. I haven't ran a 400 since I was in 7th grade and my asthma is not liking me rn. I'll tell you how it goes lol pray 4 me!!!

TIP:  In every lane from the start, there is the 1st hurdle mark which is 45m.  That's 5-7 seconds depending on one's ability.  So just go all out until you see that hurdle mark.  (Faster runners could go 5m further, 2-3 strides?)

Damn wish me luck I’m running the 400 on Monday, I got put in it but didn’t try out so I never ran it before 🥵

I’m running 400m on Thursday and the track looks so long I’m nervous

Edit: I got first but we had to redo it then I got first again!

When I ran 400s 100 was getting ahead next 200 maintain speed final 100 maximum effort, that's how I got 58 seconds

i feel like im gonna throw up just watching this video and thinking about the 400

Step 1.dont.

Omg! I’m literally the fastest sprinter in my whole team and my freaking coaches put me in 400 and 800 and I am telling you right now I do not do long distance I am literally just a sprinter so please pray for me. I think I can do the 400 but the flipping 800, I feel like I’m about to cry because of how nervous I am!

So Im having my first track meet and I’m currently freaking tf out

Running the 400m at Scottish Champs tomorrow. Absolutely buzzing! I'm 30 and will be the slowest by far but the adrenaline and hype before running it is still immense! Pray for me comrades!! 😂

bro im getting anxiety from watching this video and i dont even have to run anytime soon lmao
but I'll keep this in mind
