In Interschool Sports, the coach put me in 800. Dont know why - I don't even run 800!! Running against guys who run THAT race, was difficult. But the time I got to the last 100 meters, that was it. Legs went on strike. Nothing I could do about it. I feel for this guy, but a 400 sprinter should know how to pace himself … if that is his race.

He started out the first 200m in near world record pace, he didn't have to do that. He made an tactical error not a physical one that let his team down.

[@geographyvibes5624]

I remember running a 4X800 similar to this, I was 100m behind the leader and SPRINTED to catch him. First lap was a 1:02 and finally caught him at the 500m mark but he sped up and with about 150m to go he surged ahead and eventually beat me. My final stretch was like a jog and my arms froze up like blocks of ice from fatigue. Nothing you can do when you hit the wall

[@ramlangoddos4425]

You remind me of my anchor run for our 4x400m relay in the early 1990s when I was a junior masters athlete. We had our quartet hastily assembled by our Coach. We asked him if our third runner was well enough to be in the team. But the Coach said, "Just give him a try". And I knew that the third runner was an unknown quality at the time. True enough, our third runner was struggling hard to lift his heavy legs in the last 100m stretch. By the time I received the baton from him, four runners already sped past our team, and with the nearest one already 80 meters ahead of us. I had a do or die mission, come what may. I had to close that huge gap. By the last 70m I was 3 strides behind his back, and by the last 50 meters I was shoulder to shoulder with him. But then the lactic acid had taken over my legs and I felt so heavy to lift my knees. That was the most punishing run I had ever been. I couldn't stand up for the next 20 minutes. I was around 36 years old at that time and I bet my split time for the anchor run to be 49 seconds.

Well that’s just not true. It’s almost like there isn’t a timer on screen to fact check. Gets the baton at 2:29 (maybe 2:28 but crosses the line to start his split clearly at 2:29) and finishes at 3:15...how is that 51 seconds? That’s a crazy 46 second relay split. So maybe a low 48-second effort if he didn’t have a running start. Please don’t take away from the run by posting this 51-second split nonsense.

My son had never run a 400 before and he was in 8th grade. He took off like it was a 200, which is what he normally ran. I thought he was going to lap everybody. He died at about the 250 mark and almost everybody passed him. I don't think his coaches got the message across how he should run the race. People in the stands thought they were watching a world class runner for that first 250. A guy who had seen me talking to him before the race asked me "Is THAT your son?" That was before the 250 mark. After he fell apart, I said "Yep, that's my son"? Track is a great sport.

‘Oh boy there goes boyd’

[@that_cajun_boi4401]

I have a comeback story that happened when i was running in the 2 mile run. So it was in early march of this year when we had a track meet out of my parish and i was going to run the 1 and the 2 mile run. In my parish we dont have the 2 mile run so i was curios to see how i would do against other kids in the race (this was a jr high track meet im in 8th grade). So in the 1 mile run i got 1rst and ran a 5:38 which was about 23 seconds better than my mile last year. I run the mile by pacing the first 2 laps and slowly move my way up to the top of the pack. Then at the 2 1/2 lap mark i get to the kids who are 1rst and 2nd and when they start to lose steam at around the start of the last lap i create as much space as possible because i know im not fast enough to go neck in neck in the last 100 meters. And then i just book it and sprint the last 100 meters and won the race. So in the 2 mile run for the first 5 laps i was behind and i needed to start a comeback . At the start of the 6th lap i was in 4th place with a side stitch and the kids in second and first 60 meters ahead. I thought i was ducked. But the 2 kids in front were kind of fighting for the 1rst place spot which made them lose energy. At the start of the 7th lap i began closing distance. It was 30 meters from 1rst, then 20, then at 10 i passed up the kid in 2nd, and finally at the beginning of the last lap i was first. So then i gave it all i had and created a 35 meter lead and sprinted the last 100 meters to get first with a 12:38.

Am the Anchor leg for 4x400, and I also run the Open 400m, am Sophomore, and I ran the 400m for over 4 years now in my 6th grade, and I tell you this my coach told me to get off the corner fast, and relax when you get to the 150m, cause you are trying to save energy on the last corner, and guess what it worked, my time went down to 62 in 6th grade to 50 seconds in my sophomore, and I ran a 48.4 split on my 4x400. That guy had inexperienced relay, that why he fell down, and he didn't relax. At the same time it the coaches fault for putting him in Anchor at Regional. If I was coach I would put the best 400m runner, 800m runner, or 300m hurdle for 4x400
