How can I run 600 meters faster?
- The best way to pace a 600m race is to break it down into 3–200m segments.
- I’m assuming this is on an indoor track, so likely each lap will be 200m.
- The first 200 you want to make sure you get out and get a good start.
- For the 2nd 200m, you want to ease up on the pace and try to run it as comfortable as possible.
How do I train for a 600 meter race?
Like all workouts involving very fast running, 600m breakdowns require a thorough warmup. Start with some light jogging, then perform some dynamic flexibility exercises, such as giant walking lunges and standing forward-backward and side-to-side leg swings. Finally, run a few strides (100m runs at 90\% sprint speed).
