    . This is going to help a lot. I realized my form would get messed up at the end of a 400 because my butt and hips would die out but my calves never hurt. Well they don’t because I don’t use them correctly thus why they are proportionaly smaller than my quads and hamstrings. Thanks for the video

    The fastest I've ever ran in a 400 is a 60.5. This year (9th grade) I was put on the 4×4 during indoor season for the last two meets. I ran a 70 the first time, and then ran a 68 the second time. In outdoor I continued running 68's for like the first 2 or 3 meets. I then ran a 66, then a 62, then a 60. By the end of the season my fastest time was a 60.5.

      But if you are having cramps thats likely due to not training your calves or just not running longer distances in spikes often.
      But the dopamin-rush after the run is the motivation and worth all the pain

      I don't know what your plan is but DO NOT suddenly switch to forefoot running for longer distances let alone marathon. Switching foot strike is always demanding on the body and takes a lot of time. And a forefoot strike is not the preferred footstrike for marathons anyway. Even professionals which grew up with a forefoot strike intentionally switched to midfoot.

      Leaning forward from the hips can help encourage a strong push from the hamstrings and glutes, leading to more power behind your stride. We've got a more in depth video of that here: th-cam.com/video/rKrdB-5R3C4/w-d-xo.html

      Yes and there's a lot of ppl on here talking about guys times, this video is about a girl that improved, 60 is pretty good anywhere and often it will get you to state depending on your classification, most states will have girls winners in the mid 50s, I just checked some random Tex 3A and down girls 400 times, many of the winners are right at 60 flat, then it goes up radically from there, also years vary, right now in KS we've had 4 weeks of pretty much garbage weather, high winds, rain, cold and most girls of all classifications are winning with 60+, however, there are some elite girls in the mid 50s....having said that I'll add this; I've been to many HS football combines, every boy will tell you he's running 4.5 in the 40 and there are definitely some to be sure but the overwhelming majority are in the high 4s and plenty are at 5 flat or higher for skill positions, speed is one of the most over-exaggerated things, until you get on the track with the laser and then you see the truth.

      @@alanmiller4122 Ya and I am under 6'3" tall but every 6'1" guy I have ever met says he is 6'4". I just don't get it. And softball pitching speeds? I don't believe anything unless I see the readout on a gun. Not to mention, what is your speed in the 5th and 6th inning? There is a reason I am not a big "stat guy". You can watch any sport and your eyes will tell you who the best athletes are.

    I had this exact problem with my sprints this season, everyone kept telling me it looked like I was stomping the ground when I ran. Didn't really figure out how to fix it until a bit before sectionals and so I decided to just keep running the 400m my own ugly way and still came up with a 51.58 (my PR), but I wish I'd had more time to work on it

    Big key to this forefoot strike is to dorsiflect the toes up on landing. Landing toes down is compression...and will slow you down. So landing on that ball, but not on toes. Toes can plantar flex on the pullback
