400m sprints

ah, I'm weighing in at about 82kg at the moment, so that may just kill me ;)
 
I'm 94 kilos so it is very hard---they don't know how to train heavy weights
 
My mate and his brother are open weight (105 and 115 kg). The thais seemed to do a pretty good job with them
 
I'm going to call major bs on the 8x400m at 60 seconds with 60 rest. If you could do that you might want to consider running full time.

Fartleks are where you run hard for a certain amount of time (1-3 minutes as an example) followed by an easy pace and then a medium pace. It's a cycle and you do it for as long as you want.
 
Are your brother and his friend doing 6 hours a day training 6 days a week?

And where in Thailand are they training I heard WMC uses a group approach?

My mate and his brother fella, not my brother and his mate.
Any who, WMC camp that I trained was on Koh Samui, Lamai

Can you define group approach, because I think thats how its was run (ie everyone trains at the same time and you swap training partners during sparring and clinch).

Good god I wouldn't last 3 hours at the pace they did. It was 2*2 hour sessions a day, mon-sat, sun off
 
I'm out of shape and I run it in 90 seconds or so. Guess I should go and deep throat my pistol til it goes bang!!!!!!
 
Well in most of Thailand you have one tranier that you stick with through the training. Here I ahve two general trainers (sometimes they change) one boxing trainer and one blocking, movement trainer. Have you gone to any other camps in Thailand?
If you want to really die try Kwaesamermit (however it is spelled in Bankok--that's the hardest)
 
No matey, one of my trainers from the uk owns the gym (ralph beele), so everyone from our gym generally heads there.

At the lamai gym there are like 6 trainers, all of them brothers (all bangkok champs apparently, its a well known family out in thai land). You do tend to go to one and stay with him throughout your stay, but they all specialise in something. Ones clinch, ones boxing, ones kicks and knees. Nocweed (thats how you say it, no idea how you spell it) tends to train the guys who have fights coming up, but he was taking it some what lax until the last week that we were out there.
 
People are doing 437 yard SPRINTS??!!..... That's over 4 football fields in length. Are you sure that's correct. I could see doing 50 sprints and repeating them over and over, or maybe even 75 or 100 yard sprints. But 437 yards? That's more like a fast jog, unless your some special track athlete at the top of his game. Even then that's not really a sprint. Its kind of a fast run.
 
My camp has three Lumpinee CHampions and several very good fighters in it.

It is hard.

Kwaersmirt is the hardest though (taht a Farang can go to).

It was 12 and not 8. I did not even come close, it was another runner on the team. He was an increible runenr and has since gone profesional, in that I was at one 5K that he won with an impressive time, earning him a cash prize. I haven't seen him since. He was 2 years ahead of me in high school. If I had not seen the performance with my won eyes I would not have believed it either. He was from a diferent high school but they didn't have a track program so he ran with our team. I am sure he went to college on a track scholarship and I am trying to google him up now but I cannot remember how to spell his name.

OK, googling complete. I assume this is him (I think I remember him going to SU after high school) He went to SU and set a new SU mile record it says here:

http://www.syracusechargers.org/news2000/105.html

Here it talks about him in a relay race at SU:

Here is him (with a pic) running something or other. His head was always shaved when I knew him, and this is a bad pic, but it looks like him from what I can tell:

Are you just training out there or are you fighting aswell?
 
Well the only fighters my size are those Russians---nothing has been set up yet.
IN the Fall several things are planned.

But yest fighting also.

Yah Bankok for Kwaersmerit--the English representative for the gym posts on here. I am training in the North myself.

dud when you are moving at from 1:00 to 1:30 minutes that is a sprint, a longer one but still a sprint
 
still doesnt make much sense.... define a sprint.

Are you telling me that your 400m "sprint" pace is the same as your 100m "sprint" pace? Wouldnt that mean you severely half-ass it during shorter distances for explosive training?

theres a big difference between sprinting 400m in under a minute and resting and replicating the same speed for 4 minutes continuously.

Getting under 1 min for 400m isn't that hard (if you have some fitness and persist), but doing it over and over again bloody well is, and with minimal rest (60 seconds) even more so..
