[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm more of a long distance runner but when I started really focusing on speed work, I was able to post some pretty good times. I typically ran a few days a week, with one day every week being designated for track work. I'd do a mile of warmup and striders and a mile of cool down. In the middle, 3 miles of varying intervals. Sometimes 10-12 400's with recovery in between. Sometimes 1600/2x800/4x400 with recovery. Etc. or a bunch of 400s, some 200s, some hundreds. Outside of the track, proper nutrition, hydration and good sleep are crucial. And if there's excess weight, that does make you slower. My daughter also does some weight lifting to build lower body muscle and core strength. [/quote] 10-12 400's sounds like a lot but if that's what it takes she will do it! She's very committed and really wants to get fast. It kind of breaks my heart how bad she wants to be fast and good at this. She is 5'4 and 95-100 pounds. [/quote]
