He did 45 flat as a teen, this is a 46 after years without training for it, not bad. I think it's fair to agree that he would probably had a 43 had he dedicated to the 400m.

Bolt has good muscle memory...He ran this race like a 400m athlete. He changed his mechanics for this race..This race is a living proof that he was once a 400m athlete.

400 looks way more physically brutal than 200 or 100

I think everyone is forgetting that usain had the world junior or youth record for the 400, it was his specialty back then, it no longer is now .

Ahhh that last 120m...100m...80m...finish line where are you?!

Just watching 400's makes me nauseous. Had to run two per meet in high school, and the 4x400 was directly after 200m finals. The pain coming out of the second turn is unholy. Feels like death every time.

Never competed in the 800, but I'm sure that's savage as well. Let's keep it honest on here though, some guys are commenting that the 800 is harder because you're expected to run 400m pace. Clearly that's bullshit, and physically impossible. If you're dying from lactic acid by 36 seconds, how do you intend to run the next 500m? If man could physically sustain that pace, the WR in 800m would be roughly 1:27... not fucking happening.

400 is a brutal race. In the last 100 the legs tighten up and feel heavy and you are suffering and can't wait for the finish line. That goes for the winners too.

I bet someone with no knowledge about athletics will say he's getting slower

[tillinfinity]

Usain ran 45 as a teen when he used to train for this. Honestly if he stayed strictly a 400m runner he would probably have still been a successful sprinter

[Rootcauses]

I can see why Bolt doesn't wanna do 400m. It's just to bloody painful. lol

[nippy]

love this guy, his body language after the line is my favorite, thats how i feel these days after 100m, when i used to tear it up in high school and college

[madeinindia]

King is always king in all formats❣️🔥😍😍

[mnash]

This was awesome!!! I always wondered what Bolt would look like running the 400m... lol...

[jamesbrooking]

The 400, if you run it right, is probably one, if not the, hardest event you can do

[solsist__]

Everyone saying he did a bad 400....




1. The slowest you run is 85%
2. The 400 is the hardest race its a sprint
3. Lets see you do it without slowing down.
5. I'd be damned if you could sprint without getting tired and beat him.
6. 400m is more mental than physical
7. Youre to stupid to realize I missed 4.

0:44 when you smoke way to much but trynna keep up lol 😂

[MMABeijing]

that gives me confidence. i just started training and last time i did some 400 m alone, i was fried and i felt i was running on sand. i will dedicate to the 400m and learn to embrace the grind

[bluecheetah]

400m is a tough sprint....I said sprint..

[galistlyfe]

For a 400m guy, an 800m is tougher, but for 800m guys, 400m is harder. Different type of pace and distance

[robertphipps]

I like. Speed endurance make speed work more effective. It looks hard because he has not done enough speed work to be comfortable stay injury free and he rule. I glad he got some rest last year that was the key.
