My first thoughts were that Geordie Beamish ran a 4:06.96 in Flagstaff in 2019 and that got him into NCAAās. He won it. Unconverted PR of 4:06 and was NCAA Champ. Dude ran almost 10 full seconds faster than that on the same track and people arenāt sure if heās good?
ā°ļø The Altitude Conversion Debate Continues Around Nico Young's 3:57 At 7000ft
āUsing the historical data from 2022 to extrapolate an estimate, then itās fair to say Young is in at least 3:50-something shape, meaning Cooper Teareās collegiate record of 3:50.39 might be within reach.ā
š Are we going to see the mile collegiate record go down this season?

I like how you asked for 400 training and all you got was distance runners saying to do 200-800m intervals at speeds well slower than 400m pace. Probably call it āspeed workā too. @pntrack is š¤¦š»āāļø
