400m running tips

We all know how to run, and we all run often. Especially at sports events, running is essential. Nowadays, the physical fitness test for middle school students also includes a 400-meter running test, which troubles many students who are not good at sports. The 400 meters is neither a short-distance race nor a long-distance race; it is the race that requires the most skill. If we can master the technique of 400-meter running, it may improve our performance. So what are the techniques for running 400 meters?

1. 400-meter running essentials

1. The first 100 meters are critical. You need to speed up and use the strength of your arms and feet to move forward. It should be noted that you should run along the tangent and use 90% of your strength when you reach the turn, but the arm swing should not be too large.

2. For 100-200 meters, slow down a little and run at a steady pace. Don't expend too much energy, otherwise you will not have the energy to continue running in the last 100 meters. It should be noted that 95% of your strength should be used in the first straight lane, and run with a high center of gravity and large strides.

3. At 200-300 meters, your body is already very tired. This is the most difficult moment. You must grit your teeth, lower your center of gravity, run with big strides, and persist until the sprint stage.

4. In the last 100 meters, accelerate forward and run with willpower. Never slack off and don't look back. You should constantly increase your speed, prepare for the sprint, and move forward with all your might.

2. Precautions

1. Don't run immediately after a meal, because after dinner, food accumulates in the gastrointestinal tract and has not yet been digested. If you suddenly speed up, abdominal discomfort is likely to occur.

2. Before running, do warm-up exercises first, such as running back and forth, because sufficient warm-up can help people get into the state as soon as possible and avoid foot cramps during running.

3. During running, you should pay attention to maintaining the rhythm. Don't run very fast suddenly and then run very slow suddenly. In addition, your breathing should also be rhythmic, otherwise you will experience breathing difficulties.

4. Rolling up your tongue while running can prevent the invasion of cold air and achieve better health care effects. However, do not roll up your tongue when you start running, because people will easily become nervous when they hear the sound of gunfire and may bite their tongue.

5. Do not lie down or sit down immediately after running. Walk slowly nearby and let your heart rate drop before resting to avoid symptoms such as dizziness.
