Originally posted by Aargh View Post400 meters is the ultimate race. It's too long for the guys with top speed in shorter races, but can't be approached like a distance run. 400 meters is probably at the absolute limit of a human body to go full out. It's the best race to test the ability of an athlete to go at top speed for the longest time.

In HS I ran both high and low hurdles. Yes, at 5'8", I ran high hurdles. All the "real" high hurdlers took 3 steps between hurdles and led with the same leg. I took 4 steps between hurdles and alternated my lead leg.
We had very few events with 300 yard intermediate hurdles, but we practiced that event. In HS, 300 yards was past the limit of what the sprinters could go, but not long enough to use a pace for a quarter mile. Throw in the hurdles and that was a cruel, cruel event!The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.
