what are the rules in a 400 relay race?
401149
During a relay race, members of a team take turns swimming or running (usually with a baton) parts of a circuit or performing a certain action. Relay races take the form of professional races and amateur games. In the Olympic games, there are many types of relay races that are part of track and field.\n\nBased on the speed of the runners, the generally accepted strategy used in setting up a 4 person relay team is: second fastest, third fastest, slowest, then fastest (anchor). Each segment of the relay (the distance run by one person) is referred to as a leg.\n\nEach runner must hand off the baton to the next runner within a certain zone, usually marked by triangles on the track. In sprint relays, runners typically use a "blind handoff", where the second runner stands on a spot predetermined in practice and starts running when the first runner hits a visual mark on the track (usually a smaller triangle). The second runner opens her hand behind her after a few strides, by which time the first runner should be caught up and able to hand off the baton. In middle-distance relays or longer, runners begin by jogging while looking back at the incoming runner and holding out a hand for the baton.\n\nA team may be disqualified from a relay for:\n\nImproperly overtaking another competitor \nPreventing another competitor from passing \nWillfully impeding, improperly crossing the course, or in any other way interfering with another competitor \nMaking two false starts (or in some cases only one) \nMaking an improper baton exchange

For road racing, check the local clubs  You may need to drive 4 hours or more to find the tracks that the clubs run at but that's really the place to start.\n\nGet their rule book cause you need to set up a bike to pass tech (safety wire, tape lights, numbers..etc), as well as get the required safety gear (helmet, gloves, leathers, boots).\n\nTake the beginners school which normally happens on part of a Friday and all day Saturday.  If all goes well, he'll have his first race that Sunday.\n\nFrom there you acquire points not just for chapionships but to go to certain levels of experience from Novice to Provisional Expert to Expert to Pro.  It's different from club to club.  At certain point totals or experience levels, he can then run regional events. if he has enough points to become a pro he can then run at the national level.

sorry to inform  you, but one time around is only a 400 dear.  1600 (one mile) is 4 laps.\n\nJust keep working at it and you'll build the stamina over time...just keep working hard and talk to your track coach and get a recommendation from him.

Track dimensions are going to vary. Most run about 110 yds on the straightaways and 110 yds on each of the turns which give you a radius of 35 yd.\n\nAccording to one rules document that I found, a standard 400m track is going to have curves with radius of 36.5 meters.\nThat gives you total distance on the curves of 229 m. That would make the straightaways 85.5 meters long.\n\n400m = 437.44 yds

When it comes to competetive swimming, freestyle simply means that there are few rules that govern how the stroke is judged.\n\nFreestyle swimming competitions can be any of the unregulated strokes such as front crawl, dog paddle, or sidestroke. Individual freestyle competitions can also be swum in one of the officially regulated strokes (breaststroke, butterfly, and backstroke). The freestyle part of medley competitions, however, cannot use breaststroke, butterfly, or backstroke. Most competitive swimmers will choose to swim front crawl during freestyle competitions, as this style provides the fastest speed. Freestyle competitions have also been swum completely and partially in other styles, especially at lower ranking competitions. During the Olympic Games, front crawl is swum almost exclusively during freestyle.\n\nSpecific rules as defined by FINA:\n\n- Freestyle means that in an event so designated the swimmer may swim any style, except that in individual medley or medley relay events, freestyle means any style other than backstroke, breaststroke or butterfly. \n\n- Some part of the swimmer must touch the wall upon completion of each length and at the finish. \n\n- Some part of the swimmer must break the surface of the water throughout the race, except it shall be permissible for the swimmer to be completely submerged during the turn and for a distance of not more than 15 meters after the start and each turn. By that point the head must have broken the surface.

They can hit 120+ in some straight aways. Rallying is pretty intense. You gotta have balls to do that sport.

It sounds like you're talking about the points race on the track.\n\nThe points race works like this. Competitors will ride around the track for a set number of laps. At regular intervals, there are designated sprint laps in which the riders score points based on who crosses the line first, second, and so on.  The winner of the event is not the rider who crosses the line first, but instead, the rider who has scored the most points in the event.\n\nNote however that the race is scored on points and laps. Since taking a lap on the field tends to be commonplace, they keep score based on both categories, with laps taking precedence. If a number of riders have all taken a lap, the points between those riders will determine the placings.\n\nThe Commonwealth Games themselves are a sort of Olympic type of competition between the countries that comprise the Commonwealth (countries like Great Britain, Australia, Canada, and so on).

It depends on different factors. 1)physical condition:  you obviously need to be in good shape for an event like that.  2)Body Design: if you look at a distance runner and then look at a sprinter you may see differences in musclular structure.  Different bodies are suited better for different events.  However, if you coach is having you run it, they must believe you can.

There are two NCAA qualifying standards in each race - the A standard, and the B standard.  If a swimmer acheives the A standard during the season, before NCAAs, they are automatically qualified for the meet.  If they qualify for the B standard but not the A, they have to wait to see how many swimmers qualify ahead of them.  If there are fewer than 24 swimmers in the country that make the A standard, they'll allow the fastest B qualifiers enter in order to bring the total number of entrants up to 24.

If you have truly run 47:02 for a certified 10 mile race, you probably know way more than anybody here who is going to give you an answer.\n\nAs far as the 400 and 800, the best way to train for them is a lot of intervals on the track at or above your target race pace.\n\nIn case you haven't checked, the U.S. record for 400m for men 55-59 is 52.24, the 800m record is 2:06.83.
