PROGESS POST 1

I am having trouble finding an ad. Once I find one, I will begin the project.

wikipedia assignment

The wikipedia research I decided to revise was the 400 meters. This is a track race that involves many techniques. The 400 Meters is the most common race in outdoor track and I was surprised not to see any techniques on how to run the race. So from my own experiences and gathered information, I edited the page by adding information on how to run the 400 meters (as shown Below).

How to run the 400 meter dash requires numerous techniques. First, when coming out of the blocks you want to be explosive as possible because a good start gives you an advantage over your opponents. You want to be at your top speed 50 meters in your race, then be relax. This technique will save you enough energy for the finish. After 50 meters, you want to be relaxed, keep long strides, pump your arms, and breathe slowly. When heading into the last 100 meters( the straight a way), you want to give it all you have. Pump your arms and run on yours toes for a better sprint. Keep high knees and a straight posture. It is important to keep a good form during this part of the race. Many runners lose numerous of races because they couldn't finish. Although the 400 meter dash is a sprinting race, it requires significant amount of lung capacity, endurance, speed, and strength.
