<p>ya, i little ambiguous there, sorry! Yes, the four hundred is hard but the 800 is hardest. 400 is second hardest lol :)</p>
<p>My thoughts on hardness of events. If someone is a good distance runner, they can be a good sprinter (actually, mid distance, cause I mean 1600m-5k). If someone is a good sprinter, it does not mean that they could be a good distance runner.
I find that right after a nice two mile race, I love the 4x400m. Its like a treat cause I only have to run one lap! And I run a 53 so I'm not going super slow.
Also, I'm pretty sure our long distance crew at my high school does more mileage in one day than the sprinters do in one week. But we have really wussy sprinters.
Bottom line, 800m is hardest and 400m is less than or equal to 1600m.</p>
<p>p.s. About how many miles per week do not lazy sprinters do?</p>
<p>So based on the given circumstances of the altitude, how much will performance fluctuate? I know for that for my 100meters, I am running at about 11.2 secs, so I'm not surprised that it would drop slower.. but how much?</p>
<p>expect a drop in performance, but maybe not that much of a drop if it's just 100m, there's not a lot of room for that much fluctuation. Long distance I figure is where it will be most noticeable. At SS, there were kids who claimed they were in the 5min/mile area, but some of them were struggling to make 6-7min.</p>
<p>I ran an 11:30 1.5 miles easily before I came here, and when I took the AFT at the beginning of basic, it took me 13:28, then I was back down to 11:15 at the end of basic</p>
<p>Why do they sometimes altitude-adjust field events (like jumps)??? I know the altitude makes a difference for distance runners and sometimes sprinters, but does it really make that much of a difference for jumps?</p>
<p>statick: That's just the thing - sprinters aren't distance runners. They usually don't measure their workouts in miles, because that's not what counts. They're more concerned with building strength, speed and agility. They don't need to worry about running mile after mile, but at the same time they're getting a lot accomplished in a different way. I hate comparing sprinting and running distance, because they're just too dissimilar. I've been on all ends of the spectrum, and was sufficient in all of them...starting with straight-up sprints, moving to distance, then some of both at the same time, then to jumps coupled with either distance or sprints (depending on the day). It all just depends on the person, the effort put in, and the correct balance of workouts. They're all tasking, just in different ways.</p>
<p>800 is horrible. Funny cause my high school coach puts all the new kids in the 800. </p>
<p>3200 is the best. Calm, collected, more strategy and planning.</p>
<p>ya, i concur haha you get time to think lol</p>
<p>What would be a good time for women's hurdles on the 300m? And do they run the 100m hurldes at USAFA??</p>

<p>Here's the track page with results for the meets they've completed so far...that's about all I can offer. Sorry Hurdlechick.</p>
<p>That's okay; thanks anyway. :)</p>
