Sharkie Sep 2023 4:08pm, 12 Sep 2023 21,886 posts	0 Sharkie Over ten years ago -when I was 58 - my 400 PB was 81.3 seconds, so no. Raffo's PB at the same time - he was just 50, was 58.1, so he could. It helps to be a bloke!
Silent Runner Sep 2023 10:17pm, 12 Sep 2023 969 posts	0 Silent Runner My best (ten years ago) was 1:14. A few months ago I’d have struggled to get under 1:30, but with some recent, regular track sessions I’m getting back down towards 1:20. Still a long way from 1:08, though.
Autumnleaves Sep 2023 10:20pm, 12 Sep 2023 19,366 posts	0 Autumnleaves Nope! Think my best 400m was a smidge under 90 seconds and that was a few years ago.
Velociraptor Sep 2023 3:30pm, 13 Sep 2023 65,298 posts	0 Velociraptor Without training for the distance, my track 400m PB is 1:38. I have no reason to believe I have untapped potential for sub-mile distances. So that's a no.

STOOSH Sep 2023 9:03pm, 13 Sep 2023 3,518 posts	0 STOOSH Think the fastest i ever recorded 400mtrs at was a 70 as a last rep of a set. i imagine at the time i could possibly have run an all out at 67/68 but who knows. I'd be lucky if i could hit 80secs now!
