You have to be smart for the 1200m race. Usually you will see people take off sprinting for the first lap, you should stay back from them and keep your own pace. They will get tired after their first lap and have nothing left for the rest of the race. each lap you should pick up your pace by about 2-5 seconds and if you have anything left you give it your all on the last lap.

It is a fairly anaerobic race due to the fast speed you are going at the hole time. I guess you could say the first 200m are aerobic because you are getting into the race, but you are going so fast (if your good enough) to have it be all run without oxygen.

I am a 6th grade runner and just broke a 5 40 mile. I am 11 years old and want to go pro, Ive been told that i will get scholarship to UVA and Princeton. If you want to become a pro runner you have to join a local track team either through school or recreation department. You also have to put all your other hobbies or sports aside to be great. But I run track and play tennis! It is your choice how far you want to go with this great sport! GOOD LUCK!!
