IMPORTANT: If you are a 400 meter athlete and try to run these 400m workouts at a different pace, run further/shorter than the prescribed distance, and/or cut the rest short (boredom or rushing), you will change the component of the workout and no longer be training the correct energy system that your workout was intended to train. If you are not sure when to do these workouts or if you would like to follow a training schedule, check out my 400m training program.

The 400m is one of the longest sprint events in track and field and even though it is quite longer than the 100m and 200m, it still requires a great deal of power and acceleration right out of the blocks.īelow is a list of a few 400m power and acceleration track workouts that help in training the ATP/PC energy system, which is the body’s primary energy system for power and acceleration. However, with the proper training, some patience, and tips from the experts in this story, you too can hit the roads with your pup.Track workouts that increase your power and acceleration in the 400m That’s all to say that just as running as individualized for humans, it can be that way with your dog. Maybe it’s only for a mile or so, with the occasional stop at a tree or stop sign, but going out with him on a nice day brings just as many runner's high vibes as that perfect long run by myself. Despite his longer body, short legs, and the general idea that those two breeds of dogs may not be ideal running companions, Carson can go. That was the case when we found Carson, our 10-pound chiweenie (a cross between a Chihuahua and dachshund) from a local rescue organization. It became easy to see that if you want to go long, run in the snow, or hit technical trails, some breeds definitely rose to the top.īut sometimes you’ll surprise yourself by finding a running dog who loves the sport just as much as you. By contrast, squishy-nosed dogs, such as pugs ( with some exceptions!) and bulldogs, don’t always make good distance athletes because they’re prone to overheating. Some breeds, such as huskies and greyhounds, were bred to run, and most working dogs are naturally suited to running. This is a question I had been asking myself after my wife and I bought our first home and finally had space to bring a dog into our lives. So what can you do to find the best canine running companion for you? Some do better in warm weather, others in cold weather. If you love to run and you love dogs, you probably asked yourself: what pooch makes the best running partner? Most dogs love to run-some more than others, and not all for long distances.
