How to run the perfect 800 or 400, the way to run the perfect race is go to the line calm show no fear, being a little nervous is ok everyone is nervous. But being so nervous that you are dreading your race and want to vomit is not healthy. Go to the line shake your arms out if it helps jump in the air to loosen your legs up and keep your muscles warm.
For the 800, get a good start, don’t get boxed in or pushed around, if you get boxed slow down and back out. For the first lap remain were you know you can compete if you can take the lead then do it, it is not always the wisest choice unless the group is going to slow. The middle of the pack is good and the back is ok too whatever works for you. Some people prefer to be in the middle of the pack so they don’t have to make up as much ground. The middle is a good place to run because you can sit there for the first lap. On the second lap for the 800 start to work at 300 meters to go this is the part where you begin to kick and just keep picking it up the last 100 meters give everything you got guts and all leave it all on the track my coach would always tell me.
For the 400, you need to stay loose and get out of the blocks well then give it everything you got save some though for the last 200 meters don’t go out to fast the first 200 meters. The last 100 meters keep the arms pumping ignore the pain think that the person beside you feels just as bad as you do.
Don’t let off for any race go all the way to the line and then some. When you are done with your race you don’t want to look back and think of how you could have given more.
