1000 meters run

The 1000-meter run is a discipline related to the middle distances of the athletics running program. This distance is rarely held at major official competitions. Basically, 1000-meter races are arranged at commercial competitions. 1000m run not included Olympic Games, World and European Championships. On a 400-meter lap, the distance is 2.5 laps, the start is given from the beginning of the long-range turn. Indoors 5 laps of 200 meters, start before the turn.

1500 meters run

Running for 1500 meters is a discipline related to the middle distances of the track and field athletics program. Requires endurance (including speed) and tactical thinking from athletes. It has been the Olympic athletics discipline for men since 1896, for women since 1972. Included in the athletics decathlon program for men.

Athletes in the 1500 meters start from a high start and a common starting position. At the Olympic Games and World Championships, it is held in 3 rounds, i.e. preliminary races, semi-finals and final race. In commercial competitions such as the Diamond League or the IAAF World Challenge, there is only one final run.

For a distance of 1500 meters, all tactics are typical for medium athletics distances. To achieve results at the level of the world record for men, the athlete must be able to complete a lap in less than 55 seconds and accelerate on the last lap. There are many cases in the history of athletics when athletes who performed at a distance of 1500 meters combined it with an 800-meter distance. It is less typical when stayers perform at 1500 meters from longer distances. The related distance for 1500 meters is the popular mile (1609 meters) in the UK and the USA.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, this discipline has been especially popular in the UK, New Zealand, Australia and the USA. Beginning in the 1970s, athletes from Africa began to intervene in the dispute. The history of this discipline included confrontation (1980s)

Since the 1960s, athletes from the USSR, the GDR, and Romania have dominated the 1500 meters. At the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Lyudmila Bragina set an unsurpassed achievement, breaking the world record three times during the games. In the 1990s, a number of female athletes from China gained notoriety for breaking the world record and setting several outstanding results, bringing the world record to 3 min 50.46 sec. However, experts tend to attribute these achievements to the consequences of doping.

1500 meters is the classic middle distance. The victory in the "one and a half" race is as honorable for the middleweight as the victory of the sprinter in the 100-meter race. But unlike short distances not only the most wins here strong athlete but also the smartest. at 1500 meters is very important, since your position in the final protocol will depend on it.

To improve your results in middle and long distances, you need to know the basics of running, such as proper breathing, technique, warm-up, the ability to make the correct eyeliner for the day of the competition, perform the correct strength work for running and others.

These lessons have already helped thousands of people, and they will help you too.

There are two most common tactics in the 1.5k run: the fast finish and the lead.

Leading

If you feel strong in yourself and know that among the athletes standing with you on the starting line, it is you who have the best time indicators at this distance, then it is better not to tempt fate and take the initiative into your own hands. Try to take the lead from the first meters and dictate your pace to your opponents. Many weaker opponents will drop out in the first 500 meters, the rest will begin to “fall away” later.

But the main thing here is not to “drive” yourself. Otherwise, even a good break created by you can be “eaten up” in the last hundred meters of the distance. If you know that your opponents have better results than you, then you should not force things, and the burden of leadership will not bring you anything good. You will simply “get enough” of the pace, and fall into the tail of the group.

Fast finish

On big competitions, such as the world championships or even the Olympic Games, athletes most often do not show outstanding results in the one and a half kilometer race, counting on their phenomenal finish.

And indeed. At such large competitions, it is rarely possible to single out a clear favorite of the tournament, so the easiest way for participants to run is not at a fast pace the entire distance, but at the last “turn on” acceleration and find out who is the best finisher.

This can also be done in less prestigious competitions. If you know you have a great finish, then your task is only to stay in the lead group for about 1100 meters, and then start accelerating. You can even lag behind the leaders a little, but at the same time you must know your capabilities and understand how strong you are enough to win back the gap.

For those who do not have a finish line and cannot become a leader, it is best to simply run evenly throughout the distance, accelerating in the last 400 meters. In this case, you will only fight with yourself. Beginners do not need to rush forward from the very start, they need to “catch their own pace” and follow it to the end, only accelerating at the end.

The training of a 1500m runner is closely related to that of a long distance runner. The art of winning both medium and long distances lies in the most efficient distribution of the runner's forces over the entire distance. For both the intermediate and the long distance rider, speed endurance plays a crucial role.

The difference in training for medium and long distances is primarily in the amount of work. On the account of any stayer, the mileage of running is greater than that of the best average athlete. As a rule, the middle distance runner performs intense workout in kilometers, 25–30% less than stayer. But on the other hand, middle-distance training requires a much greater absolute speed from the runner than long-distance running.

Of great importance for a runner for medium and long distances is absolute speed and speed endurance. This is the key to high performance.

More than four years ago, I ran the 5000m in 13min 35sec in a Roman stadium. After setting this world record, foreign experts athletics repeatedly addressed me with the question: “Is it possible to run faster and who will be able to do it?”

I always answered and I repeat: you can run 5000 meters faster than me, for 20-25 seconds. A runner who has approximately my speed endurance and runs 1500 meters in 3 minutes 40 seconds and in less time will be able to run 5000 m in 13 minutes 10 seconds.

This begs the question: why, having a result of 13 minutes 35 seconds at 5000 m, could I not run a one and a half kilometer distance faster than in 3 minutes 50 seconds? This was the main shortcoming in my running. It was because of this that I was twice defeated by English stayers in the 5000m. The first loss at London's White City Stadium in October 1954 was a bitter surprise to me. Shortly before my trip to London, I won the European championship with a new world record. Inspired by his first major victory on international competitions, I intensified my training and felt that in London I could improve my world record. And suddenly, like snow on the head, - defeat.

True, after 10 days, returning home from London, in Prague, I managed to take revenge and improve the time of the Englishman. But the duel with the English runners did not end there.

A year and a half later, in the summer of 1956, in Norway at the Bergen Stadium, Gordon Peary, like K. Chataway, sat on my heels until the last meters of the five-kilometer distance. And again, literally at the finish line, I pulled out a victory.

In short, twice the fate of the 5000m world records was decided in the last hundred meters, or rather, even in the last ten meters. The English runners managed to reach the finish line first only due to their best speed at a distance of 1500 m. I did not have the speed of the English stayers. My lack of speed training is primarily due to the fact that I started running in adulthood. If Piri already participated in cross-country at the age of eleven, then it was only at the age of twenty-three that I had my first running workout. At the same time, all the years I focused on speed endurance. Therefore, it is no coincidence that I have less absolute speed than speed endurance.

If we compare the results of 1950 in the 800, 1500 and 5000 meters with the results of 1957, then the picture will be as follows:

These results show that my absolute speed in the middle distances has not risen to the speed of the best European stayers.

The defeat in Bergen opened my eyes to many things. It made me revise the training methods again and again, analyze the running of English stayers, identify the characteristic features of Emil Zatopek's training and running. But I couldn't blindly copy the training or running tactics of any of these great runners. My path was different.

After the defeat in Bergen, five months remained before the XVI Olympic Games. Naturally, it was impossible to raise your speed qualities during this time, since this requires not months, but years. Then I made a decision - to work out in training a variable pace of running along the distance. Knowing the speed capabilities of my rivals at the Olympics, I set myself a goal - to achieve that, at 5- and 10-kilometer distances, long before the finish line, “wear out” the forces of my opponents by “jerks” and prevent them from overtaking me on the last straight. My plan succeeded. Thus, the defeat in Bergen gave me a good guideline for a sure victory in the future.

Nevertheless, I believe that it was the low results at 800 and 1500 m that did not allow me to improve the world records for 5000 m to 13 min 20 sec, and for 10 000 m - up to 28 min 10 sec.

Proper methodical approach to training planning is essential to the growth and athletic longevity of the middle distance runner.

A runner at the age of 18–19 should not rush to the laurels of the national champion in the 1500m race. At this age, it is more expedient to focus on the development of the qualities of speed (absolute speed) and general physical training.

It is wise for a young runner to go for high results patiently, without resorting to assault. At the same time, you need to stock up on patience not for months, but for at least three to four years, or even for a longer period. It took me more than six years of intense, systematic, planned training to achieve the world record in the 5000m (13 min 35 sec). Over the years, I have run about fifty-five thousand kilometers and overcame 30–35% of this mileage at a speed higher than or equal to that required for the competition.

I happened to observe how detrimental to runners the desire of some coaches and the runners themselves to speed up the training of masters of sports and achieve high results in a short time.

It is unacceptable when athletes at the age of 18–20, having a second or even a third sports category, perform training load, which only a master of sports with experience in international meetings can do. Such young runners, having barely familiarized themselves with the “basics” of running, are in a hurry to perform a load equal in volume and intensity to the load of the leading masters of the treadmill. The athletic growth of these runners will not lead to the desired result, even if they have remarkable abilities and show great promise. And sadly, it is a fact that some of these runners lose all desire to run. This once again confirms that it is necessary to move from smaller loads to larger ones gradually.

IN Soviet army there is a reserve of middle-distance runners who could top the lists of the best in the country in the coming years. In my opinion, for this they need to increase the absolute speed and speed endurance. A runner who has reached the first category needs to develop these qualities all year round. Only in this case, the 1500 m runner will be able to go beyond 3 minutes 40 seconds, and the 5000 m runner - from the limits of 13 minutes 40 seconds. Even in the final period, in no case should you completely exclude training for speed and speed endurance.

Need to build like this training plan the final period, so that the athlete after intense competition could have a good rest and especially strengthen nervous system. However, rest for an athlete does not mean at all that you can completely turn off training or, as is often done, limit yourself to light crosses. It is unacceptable that the speed and other qualities acquired over the past season be completely lost. A new season should start with further development of skills and. qualities acquired in the past season.

How to support a middle distance runner sportswear last season in the final period?

I believe that to maintain high performance can be as follows: in the final period, the total mileage should be reduced by 40-50%, and the number of workouts should be reduced from 5-6 per week to 3-4. morning physical exercise- warm-up - it is advisable to replace with walks and light gymnastic exercises.

Due to the fact that the training of the middleweight is in many ways similar to the training of the stayer, I will tell you how I trained when I competed in the 1500 and 5000 meters.

Here is a weekly training cycle in the final period for a middle-distance runner:

Monday. Training with a bias on the development of speed: running for segments from 50 to 200 f. The total volume of intensive running is 2000–2500 m.

Tuesday. Rest.

Wednesday. Easy cross-country - one hour.

Thursday. Rest.

Friday. Training with a focus on the development of speed endurance: running for segments from 200 to 800 m. The total volume of intensive running is 2500–3000 m.

Saturday. Rest.

Sunday. Sport games: basketball, handball, tennis, volleyball, etc.

On Monday and Friday, training is best done in the forest on a measured straight line.

After the final period and rest, the runner needs to start again with a large amount of work in both mileage and intensity. At the same time, preparation for the new season should be carried out in two stages.

First stage (January, February) preparatory period should be used to gradually involve the body in the work of a large volume. In the second stage (March and April), the runner should pay special attention to the development of absolute speed and speed endurance, and by the end of April, the amount of work (mileage) and its intensity should reach a climax.

I will give a weekly training cycle at the end of the first stage of the preparatory period.

Daily morning workout duration from 35 to 45 minutes. This includes running with accelerations from 50 to 100 m and gymnastic exercises for arms, torso and legs.

Tuesday. Warm-up - 30 min. Running with acceleration:

10 times 100 m after 100 m of quiet running; - 15 times 250 m after 100 m of quiet running;

10 times 100 l after 100 m of quiet running;

Easy run 15 min.

Wednesday. Cross at a variable pace - 1 h 25 min. Gymnastics: floor exercises-10 min. Thursday. Rest. Friday. Warm-up - 30 min. Running with acceleration:

10 times 500 m after 200 m slow run;

10 times 100 m after 100 m of slow running; - light run 15 min.

Saturday. Cross at a uniform pace - 1 h 20 min. Gymnastic exercises-10 min. Sunday. Warm-up - 30 min. Running with acceleration:

10 times 100 m, alternating with a slow run for 100 m;

20 times 250 m, alternating with a slow run for 100 m;

10 times 100 m, alternating with a slow run for 100 m;

Easy run 10 min.

Segments of 100, 250 and 500 m are run throughout the week at the maximum speed for themselves at a given time.

In March and April, the volume of training should be increased very slightly, but the speed should be brought closer to the absolute speed of the planned result. At the same time, segments of 100 and 200 m must be overcome with top speed, and segments of 400, 600 and 800 m - with an average speed from the result planned for the season in the competition period.

I bring a weekly training cycle at the end of April. Tuesday. Warm-up - 30 min. Running with acceleration:

10 times 100 m, alternating with a slow run for 100 m;

10 times 100 m, alternating with a slow run for 100 m;

Easy run 15 min.

(Speed ​​for 100 m - 13-14 sec, speed for 200 m - 26-28 sec.) Wednesday. Cross-country easy at a variable pace - 1 h 20 min. Gymnastics: floor exercises - 10 min. Thursday. Warm up

30 min. Running with acceleration:

5 times 200 m, alternating with a slow run for 100 m;

15 times 400 m, alternating with a slow run for 100 m;

5 times - 200 m, alternating with a slow run at W0 m;

Easy run 15 min. (Speed ​​for 200 m - 26-28 sec, speed for 400 m - 56-60 sec.) Friday. Rest. Saturday. Warm-up-30 min. Running with acceleration:

10 times 100 m, alternating with a slow run for 100 m;

20 times 200 m, alternating with a slow run for 100 m;

10 times 100 m, alternating with a slow run for 100 m;

Easy run 15 min. (100 m speed - 13-14 sec, 200 m speed - 26-28 sec.)

Sunday. Cross-country at a variable pace - 1 hour 20 minutes, of which 15 minutes is an easy warm-up run, 45–50 minutes is an alternating run, alternating with an easy run of 30–60 seconds in segments from 200 to 1000 m.

Easy run 15 min.

In the competitive period, the volume of training remains the same as at the end of the preparatory period, but the work on speed intensifies. So, in all segments, the speed increases from the following calculation: the shorter the segment, the higher its speed in comparison with the average speed planned for running at 1500 and 5000 m.

Segments of 1000 m or more must be run at a speed not less than the planned result, and the repetitions of these segments should be brought up to three, four, one and a half kilometer distances. Thus, it is necessary to intensively run 6–8 km or more in one training session.

I give a weekly training cycle of the competitive period. July

Tuesday. Warm-up - 30 min. Running: - 5 times 200 m after 100 m of quiet running;

15 times 400 m after 100 m of quiet running;

5 times 200 m after 100 m of quiet running. (Speed ​​for 200 m - 26–27 sec, speed for 400 m

58–60 sec.)

Wednesday. Easy cross-1 h 10 min. Gymnastic floor exercises - 10 min.

Thursday. Warm-up-30 min.

3 times 400 m after 100 m of quiet running; - 8 times 800 m after 400 m of quiet running;

3 times 400 m after 100 m of quiet running. Friday. Rest. Saturday. Warm-up - 30 min. Run:

10 times 100 m after 100 m of quiet running;

20 times 200 m after 100 m of quiet running;

10 times 100 m after 100 m of quiet running. (Speed ​​for 100 m - 12-13 sec, speed for 200 m - 26-28 sec.)

Sunday. Variable cross-country - 1 hour 20 minutes, of which 15 minutes of easy running - warm-up; 50–55 minutes of variable running - segments from 600 m to 1200 m after 60–90 seconds of quiet running; 15 minutes of easy running.

Gymnastics (floor exercises) - 10 min. Monday. Rest.

I have always believed that training is a relentless search for ways to improve the skills of an athlete. Therefore, for me, training was not a once and for all established dogma. It changed depending on the state of health, weather, analysis of the experience of past years. I varied both the volume and the intensity of the workout. But the basic principle of all training remained unchanged.

As already mentioned, training a 1500m runner has a lot in common with training a stayer. A good example of this is provided by the world record holders and the best runners in Europe at 5000 m Swede X. Hegg, Hungarian S. Iharosh, Germans F. Janke, X. Gradocki, Englishman G. Piri, Pole 3. Krzyszkowiak. All of them showed excellent time in the 1500m run, and some of them "in passing" were even world record holders at this distance. For comparison, I will give them top scores in the 1500 and 5000 meters.

* World record

The high results of the European long distance runners in the 1500 m first of all speak of a large amount of intensive work at a speed exceeding average speed on the main track.

It was thanks to the increased absolute speed of foreign middle-distance runners that the world record in the 1500 m was subjected to big changes than records at any other distance. The first recorded world record by Englishman X. Wilson - 3 min 59.8 sec - improved more than 20 times. Now the record in running this distance is 3 minutes 3 5 seconds and belongs to the Australian runner Elliot. In his training, Elliot uses a large amount of intense work.

At medium distances, the strongest runners did not say their last word. A mile and a half can be done better than Elliot did. Every army runner should strive for this, no matter how modest his results in the 1500 m run may be. Today - a simple discharger, and tomorrow - a world record holder; such a leap is quite possible for a hard-working, properly trained runner.

Observing the training of European middle-distance runners, I concluded that both in the preparatory and in the main period, runners work a lot and systematically on the development of special endurance and on increasing absolute speed. The volume of their training is four to five times the main distance - 1500 m. In one training session, they spend a total of 6–8 km of intense running, and in total they run 20–25 km a day.
