I am just coming off my first season of college track which saw a pr in the 200m which i was happy with but I also ran the 500m indoors and the 400m which is my main and favorite event but for some reason i couldn't hold it together through the last 45-50m of the 400m(the last 100m of the 500m) this ...

its hard to say with out knowing what actual events your son is doing if your son is competing in 100 200 110H or really any thing under the 400 the workouts will be different than if he was a 400 man.
