So you need your Anaerobic energy for about 1:00 right? I would think that

The 800m is not a distance race...repeat, the 800m is not a distance race.
Most if not all 800m runners can be/are great 400m runners. In the 800m you
see African Americans excel: Johnny Gray, South Americans e

Here's a suggestion Alan. Read Bengt Saltin's cover story in last

how different muscle fibers work. If you want to read more scientific

Alan:
You could say all you want that the 800 meters is not a distance event, but
this is a matter of climes, not boxes. Physiological studies show that one
needs to draw on your aerobic energy reserves after about 45 seconds or so.
That makes 800 meters very much a distance race. The anatomical

Juantorena aside, if you look at the 800 as an event, the 800/1500m types
come out on top of the 400/800m types. Other than Juanto there hasn't
been anyone who has had a shot at making an Olympic or World Championship
final in both the 400 and 800 in the last 30 years. There are those who

Athletes are not pigeons. Kenyans in particular have shown an amazing
virtuosity across a range of endurance distances.

Mark Everett certainly had the potential based on his times. Jearl

Seb Coe split 45.xx on 4x4 relay, and Borzakovski has run 45.84
last summer as preparation for Sydney. Bucher has run 46.32.
None of them trained specifically for 400 as far as I know.

Indeed, Marcello Fiasconaro was an interesting runner. Born 1949 in South
Africa as son to an Italian soldier who had been deatined in RSA during WW II.
Was a rugby player who took up 400 to improve his speed in the winter 1970-71.
His third race landed at 46.5! Held an Italian passport and went t

Sure there are a ton of guys who can run 1:47/4:00 and only run 49.xx on a
relay leg etc... it's called strength
What do you think Gabe Jennings could run on a 4x400?? 49. most likely, maybe
48 high. Louie Quintana (former Cal HS legend and Villanova Alum) once split
1:47 at PENN going 53
