the last 400? I'm a sprinter, but my coach thinks i could qualify for our western state meet if i run mid distance. I running w/ the distance team, but ideas on how 2 pace??
yes, "hard pace for the first 400 and sprint the lst 400" would be the be the way to go. and to pace would be to keep up with the others but not to put all your energy to be in front.
you should wait until a bit past the 500 mark and then right when you find there is a point when most of them are tired, tke the advantage and give it all you got. chances are at that moment they wont be insired to chase after you because they have been putting it all out being in front so that would give you the head up on the race..
