So Im wondering what sort of 400m time (for a long distance runner that is) that somebody in their late teens/early 20's would produce would indicate
i) a worthwhile running life
ii) a prosperous exciting running life
iii) a disappointing running life
so what do we think?
i) 65-75
ii) 60-64
iii) 76 and above.
Or is this all a pointless indicator?????????
need to know rest interval
need to know how many your doing with how much rest....
im only talkin average lap time with recovery of anything from 60-90sec
You have to control for a lot more variables than that.
ex.
gender
physical history
weight
build
growth stage (i.e. physical maturity)
diet
health
drinking
smoking
culture
etc.
If you're looking for an indicator to tell you whether or not it's "worth your while" to get seriously into running, look no further.
The mere fact that you are doing so is an indicator that you will have no success as a runner.
NEVER MIND! You were right the first time. It is pointless dribble.
ouch, cold people arent we?
i wanted to use it as a way of seeing how people might be in the club I captain.
me personally, late teens, can do 8 by 400 in 72-75 when i started earlier this year but dont know wat i cud do flat out
Variables needed:
How many intervals?
How much rest/jog time, between intervals?
How many miles do you do per week?
Age?
8-10 by 400m.
70secs
30-40mpw
(recoverin frm stress frac)
age20
