How do you run the 800 mt. in track?
405034
Conditioning & practice.\n\nRun long distances to up your endurance.  You should be running for 20+ minutes strait every other day.  This will get your heart rate up and keep it there for the 20 minutes.  You should start to see improvement in a couple of weeks.\n\nTry to find your best pace to go as fast as you can through the whole length of the race.

What event do you do?\nYou can't just jump into hill runs, you have to build your endyurance up, most people who are doing hill runs right ow already did cross country or have 1st phase periodization completed.\n\n1st things. Hill running\naim for a "bouncy" style, good knee lift and maximum range of movement in the ankle.drive hard, pushing upwards with the toes, flexing the ankle as much as possible, landing on the front part of the foot and then letting the heel come down below the level of the toes as the weight is taken. This stretches the calf muscles upwards and downwards as much as possible and applies resistance which overtime will improve your power and elasticity. look straight ahead as you run (not at their feet) and ensure your neck, shoulders and arms are free of tension. Hill work results in the calf muscles learning to contract more quickly and thereby generating work at a higher rate, they become more powerful. The calf muscle achieves this by using more muscle fibres, around two or three times as if running on the flat. The "bouncy" action also improves the power of the quads as they provide the high knee lift that is required.when competing in your sport/event, it can mean higher running speeds and shorter footstrike times.\n\nHill workouts\nShort hill is one which takes no more that 30 seconds to run up and has an inclination between 5 and 15 degrees gradient. The energy source on short hills is entirely anaerobic. You should focus on a running technique which has vigorous arm drive and high knee lift, with the hips kept high, so you are 'running tall', not leaning forwards. 8 to 10 repetitions over 50 metres (sprinters and hurdlers) \n\nMedium hill is one which takes between 30 to 90 seconds to run up. This is the length of hill is a good distance for the middle-distance runner, because it combines the benefits of the short hills with the stresses on local muscular endurance and tolerance of lactic acid. \n\n Long hill is one which takes from 90 seconds to three minutes plus. most of the energy comes from aerobic sources, but if parts of the hill are steep and you are running them hard, there will still be an accumulation of blood lactate. There will be local muscular fatigue in the leg muscles, and possibly in the abdominal muscles too.\n\nStrength development\nSession 1\nNeed a hill with a slope of approx 10% and a length of 200 metres to 400 metres \nRun up at approx 5km pace with rapid stride rate and good knee lift \nRecovery. jog back down \nStart with 2 sets of 4 repetitions and gradually increase over time \n\nSession 2\nNeed a hill with a slope of approx 5% and a length of 1km \nRun up at approx 10km pace with rapid stride rate and good knee lift \nRecovery. jog back down \nStart with 3 or 4 repetitions and gradually increase over time \n\n2nd thing. \nSprinting, again depending on event I could give you specific workouts but I'm only guessing here.\n\nFlexibility and a correct warm up will affect stride length and frequency (strike rate). \n100 metres 10 × 30 metres at race pace from blocks with full recovery\n3 to 4 × 80 metres at race pace with full recovery \n\n400 metres 5 × 200 metres at goal race pace with 10 seconds recovery\n4 × 400 metres at 2 to 3 seconds faster than current race pace with 2 minutes recovery \n\nHope this helps if you need more or can give me more specific info email me.

When you run do some sprint work.  run at a moderate pace for about 100ft, then sprint  a hundred, keep doing htis.  track workout work best so you can maybe do a 1/4 lap interval then raise it to a half lap alternating between sprint and moderate pace. you will be amazed at the difference in your overall speed over time

Start off fast...always stay with the pack...find your energy shot (the part of the race in the last 200 to 100 meter where you get the last brust of enery to sprint) you have it just to pass the last girl or two. Look for it and once you find that blast it will be the best and you will lower your time.

On a standard outdoor track (like those at most schools around football fields), a full lap is equal to 400 meters or about 440 yards.\n\nSo, figuring your measurements are in yards, you will run one full lap for the 440 and half a lap for the 220.\n\nIndoor tracks are much more size dependent, although those used for most competition are about 60 yards down each straightaway and about 150 yards total ... so you would run about a lap and a half for a 220 and about three laps for a 440.

Let's call the entire track length x, measured in meters.\n\nTo arrive at the time, we have to divide the distance by the speed:\n\nx / 8.5 + x/8.0 = 99\n\nmultiply all sides by 8.5 and by 8.0\n\n8.0 X + 8.5 X = 8.0 * 8.5 *99\n\n16,5 X = 8*8.5*99\n\nX = 8*8.5*99/16.5\n\nTime for the first lap: \nT1 = X / 8.5 s\nT1 = 8*99/16.5 s\n\nT2 = X / 8.0 S\nT2 = 8.5*99/16.5 s\n\n\ncalculator time....\n\nSolution D

My favourites are two or more teams ...... you need a long (not too round) balloon ..... Put the balloon under your neck (no hands used after this) and race to the assigned spot and back and pass the balloon to next family member under their neck and then they race, return and it continues until someone drops the balloon. You can vary it with a rule that if the balloon is dropped you have to return the balloon to the previous person in line and start again from that point..........Also, you can use a potato between your knees and have the same type of race. Yayyyyyyyy for family get-togethers !

Matt's advice is very good. As a cross country runner and track runner myself, I usually run for 4 weeks before cross country season begins to get used to the distance. I train to peak at the right time (usually the state championship meet), which means to work slowly up to that day. You don't want to burn out before August. I would advise running 1-3 miles a day every other day throughout June and half of July (1 mile on monday, 2 miles on wednesday, 3 miles on friday, 1 mile on sunday, 1 mile on monday...etc.) This gets your muscles in better shape and your heart in better shape. Also, make sure your diet is good. Eat lean meat, fish, some carbs, and loads of fruits and vegetables. Since an 8k is a tiny bit less than 5 miles, you want to work up to 5 miles at the end of July and beginning of August. Depending on when your race is, try to run every day at the end of July and beginning of August. Those days should include some timed runs (ie. run for 45 minutes at a steady pace). If you take the same course each time for the same amount of time, you can see how much you improve! Make sure to get a couple of days a week where you run the actual 8k distance. Then, the week before the race, take it down a notch. Run maybe 3 miles a day. The day before the race, do a 20 or 30 minute LIGHT run. Then, stretch really really well. That's just to make sure your muscles know what you're doing the next day. The day of the race, go out feeling great and knowing you can do it!!!

You start small.  Local circle track, and from there move up.

well you should first pay alot of attention to your form, some pointers; run on the balls of your feet, not the heals, the whole way in the 400 ( i never ran the 800 so i cant give you advise there)if you cant do that you nee to work at it. you want your knees high ad arms pumping close to your side( the faster your arms can go the faster your legs can go) you want to barely touch when you run  this will help you decrease friction and keep your legs moving faster. keep your back straight and head up. next you want to focus on training you are a middle distance sprinter so it doesnt make sense to train like a marathoner or cross country runner, sprinters and distance runners physiologicaly utilize different energy systems int the body, (fast gycloysis vs oxidative phosphorilation) so train for the event doing sprints of the time you want to complete the event typicaly for your age maybe 50- 60 seconds and rest for 2-3 minutes ( rest meens light jog or walk never stop bad for your body) and do repititions and sets at these intervals. also some weight training will help you gain speed but at your age you should keep the weight at a comfortable level 12-15 reps 1-2 sets. next eat right ket a well balance of nutrients, carbs, protein and fat, dont skip meals. and get plenty of rest and sleep at night good luck! and talk to your doctor and coach about before you do any of these recomendations

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

Depends on the track. Most allow you to use Bute and/or Lasix.

outdoors it depends on how old the track usually is. if it is old it may take 5 laps to get in a mile. however assuming that it is a regular track it should be 400m regaurdless of the shape of the track. \n\nsprinters at my school run around the track on average, in  55sec

You can always modify or shorten it if it is to strenuous.                                \n\nSpeed\n\nGeneral Warm-up\n\nFull Body Stretch \n\n\nWeek 1:\n\nMonday and Friday (sprint speed)\n\n3X30m (45 second rest between reps)\n\n3X60m (45 second rest between reps)\n\n3X90m (45 second rest between reps)\n\n\nWednesday (speed-endurance)\n\nUse a 3:1 Rest Ratio (ex. if it takes 30seconds to run 150m, then rest for 1:30 before the 200m)\n\n50m-100m-150m-200m-150m-100m-50m\n\nRepeat the pyramid one more time\n\n\nWeek 2\n\nMonday and Friday\n\n5X30m (45 second rest between reps)\n\n5X60m (45 second rest between reps)\n\n5X90m (45 second rest between reps)\n\n\nWednesday (speed-endurance)\n\nUse a 2:1 Rest Ratio (ex. if it takes 30seconds to run 150m, then rest for 1:00 before the 200m)\n\n50m-100m-150m-200m-150m-100m-50m\n\nRepeat the pyramid two more times\n\n\nWeek 3\n\nMonday and Friday\n\n6X30m (30 second rest between reps)\n\n6X60m (30 second rest between reps)\n\n6X90m (30 second rest between reps)\n\n\nWednesday (speed-endurance)\n\nUse a 2:1 Rest Ratio (ex. if it takes 30seconds to run 150m, then rest for 1:00 before the 200m)\n\n50m-100m-150m-200m-250m-200m-150m-100m-50m\n\nRepeat the pyramid two more times

early Pre-Season, use circuit training and Fitness Triangles for strength and fitness. circuits consist of six stations: push-ups, crunches, leg lifts, lunges, dips and a running station (usually 800-meters). start by doing 25 push-ups then jog to the next station, to do 20 crunches then jog to the next station and do 15 leg lifts. Lunges 10 on each leg then quickly jog to the bleachers to do 8 to 10 dips just before starting 800-meter run at 5k race pace. repeat 4 to 6 times for a complete workout. The main idea is to keep the heart rate up and the recovery at a minimum. No walking is allowed and quality of the exercise is stressed. A warm-up of 3 to 4 miles always before starting on the first circuit.\n\nOn the track, focus on longer types of intervals of various lengths. concentrate on 1000m- repeats; (every other day)a session could consist of \nDay 1\n3 or 4 x 1000 \nand 2 x 400. \nDay 2\n2X660\n2X220At the end of each session, try to add a fast and short interval to work on ability to kick while tired. \n\nYou have to bring good basic speed (if not sprint speed) to the event. \n You have to be able to run the last 45-50% (350-400 meters) of the race anaerobically. \n You have to be able to race and maneuver in traffic.
