to make it short: possible to go from 59s 400m to 50s 400m?
mid 20s, 3 years distance training, never done sprint or weight training
dont care about the long distance anymore and want to the 4/8 combo
train like a sprinter or mid distance guy?
thanks

Under what conditions was that 59? Blocks? Standing start? Flying start? How was the wind? Were you on your own? Did you pace it well? Anything else you think might be relevant.
Sure. Why not. 59 off of 3 years & no specific sprint training shows plenty of potential. 50 gets down to the range where talent might come into play but you have so many different areas to focus on to try to chip away at time. Maybe you end up running 51-53. Take a chance & find out if the goal motivates you.
standing start, carbon shoes, road type track at beginning of a workout. Decided to run the first interval allout for a strava segment.
Tried sometimes after an workout and it was more like 61-62 then
Thanks for the advice! how would you train? only sprint type stuff i guess. Im thinking 2x max speed + plyos and bit of weights, 1 acceleration, 1 endurance, some hills every other week. Endurance more like a sprinter or 800 runner? Also i need to get used to spikes

With a good start from blocks, spikes and in a race with good competition that 59 would have been a 55 or 56, which is pretty encouraging.
It is ! Ill get some spikes and try again. Starting some lifting and plyos now
