<p>Today at Track practice, our coach made us run 24 400m repeats on the track at 90% effort with 2 minute recovery. The entire time we did it he was laying on a lawn chair in the middle of the football field.</p>
<p>Half our team was vomiting after 8 repeats and he made us finish the remaining 16 repeats.</p>
<p>Do you think we could report him for this? I'm so sore right now, I actually did all 24.</p>
<p>** 24 ** 400’s at ** 90% ** effort with ** 2 ** minute recovery? That is insanity right there. I would walk off and tell him to have a nice day before the workout even started. </p>
<p>I run the 400m myself and really you shouldn’t do more than 4-6 in one day if you’re doing them at your capacity. 24 is unhealthy, and I can’t even imagine how that felt after 18 or so.</p>
<p>You really could’ve quit though. So your coach ain’t getting in trouble.</p>
<p>For some reason, I’m a bit incredulous. 24??? You sure about that?</p>
<p>And I did a ladder beginning at 200m and going up in 100m increments. TO 3000M AND BACK. Take that, sucka! </p>
<p>Feel better. Ice and go to sleep. Get off CC and get some rest. :D</p>
<p>Edit: to put this in, perspective it’s only 6 miles. Not bad when you think about it, really.</p>
<p>Your track team’s just gonna suck because your coach goes too hard… I imagine your coach can’t do what he asks of you guys.</p>
<p>Sadistic…</p>
<p>That would probably be a good way of putting it, yes.</p>
<p>^Speaking of messed-up coaches, I remember my elementary PE teacher was a registered rapist lolol…</p>
<p>Yeah, you could report him for this. That’s just disgusting for a coach to do. 24??!!</p>
<p>I’m calling BS.</p>
<p>Oh damn…</p>
<p>Haha, I’m a sprinter (but I run the 4x400 and SM), so I thought 10x400s at 62s pace was ridiculous enough. But 24?! I’d leave practice if my coach told me to do 24x200s, let alone quarters.</p>
<p>There comes a point where over training becomes dangerous for the team. No one should force themselves to work past exhaustion, you could seriously get injured.</p>
