Some of this advice is priceless. If you are a young athlete (younger than Niko I mean) you will not hear better advice from anyone on this planet than the advice he gives about the importance of looking after yourself from @14:14 Without looking after yourself you will never achieve your maximum potential. Not so sure about the training and low mileage throughout the year even for 400/800 runner but we are individuals and it is definitely not one size fits all.
It’s wild the difference between the distance based mid d guys and sprint based mid d guys😭 wish we had a “basketball day” but at the same time we never lift
Outdoor goal is sub 50, 400. Current or is 54~55 so I really got to put in work. I’m trying to work on more top speed than endurance because I like going out hard for my 400s. I think that works the best for me
Does your coach tell you your workout beforehand? My coach has this thing where we show up, warm up, spike up and everything and he only tells us what the workout is right before we start. Could be short sprints, could be 800m repeats, could be 400s at racepace, really anything. It’s this "be ready for anything" mentality and I’m not sure if I like it 💀
Haha my old coach used to do that but my current coach actually sends us our workouts a whole month in advance. So we know what is coming but he does not put the times on it so we go in guessing how fast the workout will be.
Yeah so I actually did it the other day too. We did 1 minute of jumping jacks, 1 minute of body weight squats, then 1 minute of pushups, then 30 seconds rest then 1,000 meters at 3 minutes. Then 2 minutes rest, then line jumps at a minute, jumping jacks, then sit ups, then an 800 at 2:25, then body weight stuff, then a 600 at 1:45 pace. Then a 400 at 69
super helpful video! do you have any advice on how i can tell if speed based or endurance based training works best for me? i WANT to be more of a 400/800 runner, but idk if the genes want that or if they want me to be 800-5k runner lol
I gotchu! If your coach is constantly throwing you in the 4x4 and if you can keep up with your sprinter teamates but you also can hang with your distance teamates in workout then you are a hybrid 800/400 guy. If it takes you a while to get going speed wise and those speed workouts are killing you then you are more of a 800/1600 guy. Where do you think you fall now given that info?
@@nikoschultz4306 ok thanks for the replay! i think i’m probably more of a 4/8 runner, im in 10th grade and in my meet today ran 2:12 for my 800 and 55 for my first 4x4, but i know i can improve quite a bit this season because the past month i’ve been biking instead of running because of shin injury’s.
Yo! What's the difference between speed-based and distance-based 800m runner? I'm trying to walk on either freshman or sophomore yr wherever I go, do you have like a document of your weekly/monthly plan? Thanks!
I dropped my weight lifting training plan in another video and I got a discord w my weekly training that you can join! Speed based 800m runners do very different training vs distance based runners. We do a lot more agresive speed work vs a distance runner who does a lot more threshold work. Best of luck walking on bro!
Rarely, probably 2-3 times a season but we still would have other things to do after those like 200's or 150's. Its rare for me to have a day of just 40-60 meters
Great video, and definitely release a video talking about weightroom
Iam interessted in the weightplan
The questioning life during a workout it’s hilarious when it’s not happening but soul crushing when you experience it😂

mindset is really what changes you i went from a 23 last year to 21.6 this year just cause of my mindset change
This is so true, it’s crazy what confidence does for you in speed endurance events.
Been waiting on this one 💪🏽
THANK YOU SO MUCH❤
Weight lifting breakdown would be cool and helpful
That’s a great video, I like the idea of having one day off a week. It sounds like intense training
Great
I wish you'd discuss your diet during one of your videos. What kind of protein are you eating, and where are you getting all your energy from.
yeah i wanna see weight room breakdown
We wanna see the weight routine!! ❤
Can you make a video about how you balance school and track. A little difficult for me
During in the fall you skipped Thursday 😂❤ Good videos though keep up the good work 👍
Would love to see a video walking us through your weight training program(s)!!!!!!

Are you a distance runner? Do you run the 16/32 or XC?
@@keysunlocked466 nope. I only run 65 hurdles, 110 hurdles, 400 hurdles, and 400/ 4x4
Yep. Eliminite "endurance". Work that top speed year round
Best of luck going forward this summer. Curious to hear a lack of actual 800m intervals sessions, like 2 x 800 trials, throughout the year.

Drop a vid on the weights
Good comments, I remove you balling out in IL, I make videos too about track. Hoping the seasons goes well
Can you tell me more about the 30 minutes 400/300m workout? Your rest was bodyweight squats or planks? For how long? And how fast were the 400s?
Even my doubt
Yeah so I actually did it the other day too. We did 1 minute of jumping jacks, 1 minute of body weight squats, then 1 minute of pushups, then 30 seconds rest then 1,000 meters at 3 minutes.

Outdoor szn goal is breaking 4:40 in mile

That’s crazy I’m guessing the weight room makes up for the lack of speed work
Some video of you running at faster pace
What was the intensity during your cross training? Was it more on the relaxed side or were you working pretty hard.
More on the relaxed side honestly, I slowly built up to where I am today.

Greetings, can you send me the training for the week? I'm training my 15 year old son
On Tuesdays, are you doing a 50 minute run or a 15 minute run? Sorry im just finding it hard to hear which one
In the summer it was 15, but in season i would do 6 mile runs so 40 minutes
Informative video . what's Yours height & weight .
5'10 154 pounds
Do you think if you did cross country would it hinder your 800m or would benefit more ?
Honestly I think it would hurt my 400 more, my 800 would be about the same in my opinion.
Do you do any pure speed (40-60m reps full rest)?
Rarely, probably 2-3 times a season but we still would have other things to do after those like 200's or 150's. Its rare for me to have a day of just 40-60 meters
Damn bro barely ran in the summer
Weight room stuff plsss
Currently in the works... stay tuned!
What are your 100m 200m 400m and 15000m/1mile prs?
100: 10.8(ish) 200: 21.8(ish) 400: 47 low :1500: 3:50's
I thought I was training hard until I watched this video lol I be wondering how 800m runners are never tired when they the 400. I know why now
Is running a 2:14 good for my first year as a freshman
No
Yall does he say a 15 min run on tuesday or a 50 min run
15🤝
@@nikoschultz4306 i got a question, now that you’re in the spring season, what is your week like?
