57. "Most of our 800m runners double back in the 4x400m too" In response to In response to 55
I've got an ... adequate record with 800m runners moving down successfully to 400m. The problem is that our sprint group has barely been able to churn out guys strong enough to run 400m. So, while I have confidence that the kids I work with can move down successfully, I don't have the same confidence that if they work with the sprint group that they'll remain strong enough to run good 800m races.
The push to improve the team at 400m would get a nice kickstart from poaching some of my 800m runners, and that's the source of a (fairly tame) turf war.
Aaaaaaaaaanyhow, it went fine yesterday. I have most the biggest group I've had since I've been doing this, and most of the kids that I want.
