Track and Field

400 meters is 99.39% of 440 yards. It's a difference of about 8 feet. So without factoring in anything but distance, clearly the biggest factor here, just take 99.39% of your 440 yard time to get an estimate of your 400 meter time.

"Shin splints" is more of a symptom that could be caused by several conditions than a specific condition itself. Pain or discomfort in the front lower leg when running or jumping are a good indication of this type of condition. Putting pressure on the muscles next to the tibia (shin bone) will produce discomfort or pain. Take two fingers and apply firm pressure as you slide your fingers along the tibia where the bone and muscle meet on the medial (inside) and lateral (outsided) sides of the tibia (shin bone). If you feel pain in any of these areas it is likely that either the muscle is pulling away from the bone in microscopic tears or that you have small stress fractures along the tibia.

It is more common for both legs to be affected, but definitely possible to have symptoms in only one leg, especially if that leg is used more in a certain activity, or is weaker than the other leg and thus predisposed to injury.

Although wearing neoprene sleeves on the lower legs and certain taping methods can relieve some of the discomfort in the lower leg commonly referred to as "shin splints," the only real treatment for shin splints is rest and ice. Ibuprofen or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatories can help reduce inflammation and speed up recovery. A good supplemental intake of calcium, Vitamin C, glucosamine, chondroiton, and MSM will ensure that your body has the materials it needs to repair itself.

Shin splints are usually used to describe the pain and discomfort associated with the tibialis anterior muscle being torn off of the tibia because of a strength imbalance between this muscle and the soleus and gastrocnemius. To recover, the athlete should rest and apply ice to the affected area of the shin in 20-30 minute segments as often as possible. The athlete may return to exercise after the area is no longer sensitive to pressure along the tibia, the athlete can perform lower leg stretches without discomfort, and a light jog is shown to produce no pain or discomfort. The recovery period will usually take 2-3 weeks, but this can vary greatly among athletes.

To prevent shin splints from reoccurring, or to prevent them from ever occurring in the first place, one should engage in an exercise program that targets strengthening the tibialis anterior directly. This short video shows a simple exercise that is very effective in preventing shin splints.

Yes in a way it will. You see by shaving the hair on your body you will become more aerodynamic. This means that as the wind goes by you when you run that the hair won't catch it and you won't slow down.

The best way to is add some more speed to your workouts every other week. Don't add too much speed - a quarter mile per hour more will get you a long way. When you add the speed every other week, your body will not get too strained and you will be able to get in a better condition slowly but steadily without over training.

It depends what event do you want to train for? because i myself run the 1600m and usually i go run like 3-5 miles depending on how i am feeling and sometimes some speed workouts. It just depends what event you are planning on running now if you are running the 400meters I'm assuming you lift weight and you do a lot of strength training. It just depends.

Houston McTear ran a hand timed 9.0 in high school in the early 1970s and Ivory Crockett ran a manual timed 9.0 in 1974. It is not an international competition event anymore and a world record for it has not be recognized since the 1970s.

That's only about three quarters of one straightaway

"Flo Jo" was the best female sprinter in history -- and holds the world records in the 100 and 200 meter dashes more than two decades after setting them.

Cathy Freeman was one the last torch bearers in the 2000 Olympics opening ceremony in Sydney, Australia. Australia is her home country. I'm sure officials wanted to showcase an Aborijane who did good and show that the world. Freeman went on to win a Gold Medal later on in the Olympics.

Five events.

Just outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario

Her first Olympics was in the 1992 Olympics which were held in Barcelona, Spain. she competed in the 4x400m relay and the team came in at 7th place

Cathy Freeman is from Aboriginal, English and Chinese background. Her ancestors belonged to these three backgrounds. For more info watch the SBS program "Who do you think you are".

Injured runner who finished the race

14:11.15 Tirunesh Dibaba (ETH) in Oslo, Norway on June 6, 2008

Tirunesh Dibaba finished strong to set the 5000-meter mark of 14:11.15 during an IAAF meet in Oslo, Norway on June 6, 2008. Dibaba's performance remains subject to the standard IAAF ratification procedures. Taking aim at the record, the Ethiopian followed the pacesetter through 3000 meters in 8:38.38, three seconds behind the record pace. Dibaba's sister Ejegayehu helped pace Tirunesh for about the next 600 meters. The younger Dibaba then ran the final lap in just under 1:04.
