How To Prepare For The
300 Meter Run

To prepare for this component, it is a good idea to do interval training. The first step is to time yourself for an all-out effort at 110 yards. This is called your initial time, or IT. The second step is to divide your IT by .80 to get your training time. Then follow the schedule below.

Weeks Distance Reps Training Time Rest Time Frequency
1 & 2 110 yards 10 IT ÷ .80 2 min. 1/week
3 & 4 110 yards 10 IT ÷ .80 minus 2-3 seconds 2 min. 1/week
5 &6 110 yards 10 IT ÷ .80 minus 5-6 seconds 2 min. 1/week
7 & 8 220 yards 8 IT ÷ .80 x 2 2 min. 1/week
9 & 10 220 yards 8 IT ÷ .80 x 2 minus 4 seconds 2 min. 2/week
