Hi Hai,

What grade are you in? It's good you want to work on your speed, with respect to the 200m, you will need some speed when running the 400 and 400H. Since you mentioned your season will start in October, which is still 3 months away, so you can certainly begin your base work now. I will give ...

Hai,

Are you in college or high school? Are you competing any this summer? When did your season start, did you run an indoor season? These are just some initial questions I need to know before I can offer you a workout. I also coach hurdlers as well. Thanks.

Coach

I coach hurdlers, jumpers and sprinters at both the High School and Jr. High level. How is her form over the hurdles? Some taller hurdlers, especially girls, because the hurdles are not as high as for the guys for 110, have the tendency to be a little more vertical over the hurdle. Any hurdler wants ...

Let me start off by asking do you use the acceleration zone? I to coach both guys and girls in the 4x1 and 4x2 among other events.

I am a former world class 400 meter runner( 45-46 times) and currently coach. What you do not want to do, is lose the new found speed over the summer. Your 500 race will continue to make your 400 stronger and as a result faster, especially the last 50 meters. Let's talk about some work in the summer ...

Those are pretty good times for a 12 year old in any place, there are high school sprinters not running these times. As was mentioned try to get him with a coach in your area, if not continue to seek out advice here at this forum.

Pre meet, the day before meet, do all you warm up things, drills etc. after that for sprinters, work blocks, both straightaway for the 100 and curves for the 200, 400 and leadoff runners, 4x1, 4x2 and 4x4 relays, handoffs. Triple and long jumpers, can do some run thru's and a few pop ups. Finish off ...
