The Stretch
Both men feel their stretching routine is imperative to maximizing Merritt's performance. This particular routine focuses on the back, gluts, groin, hamstring and low leg; all critical muscle groups for the 400M. He ends with hurdle step overs that incorporate stretching with body posture, balance and control. Throughout the routine, Miller and Merritt offer valuable narration of how each stretch applies to 400M success.

Ballistic Warm-Up

Invaluable tips for creating good arm movement are included in this segment as Miller believes that "creating good arm movement creates good body movement and control."

Stride, Rhythm and Positioning Drills
Help your athletes improve their acceleration out of the blocks! This segment emphasizes stride length, rhythm and foot and body position to aid your athletes in driving out of the blocks. These drills can be used for any sprint event.

Breaking Down the 400
Miller shows how he breaks down the 400M race on the track. He teaches strategies for effectively coming out of the blocks on the curve, the objectives for each phase of the race and coaches athletes as they work on their race.

Weight Training
Prevent injuries and gain the strength you need to run a faster 400. Miller and Merritt discuss and demonstrate eight critical exercises that are at the heart of Merritt's 400 success. They show correct form, key techniques to executing the lifts correctly and discuss the benefits of the exercises in terms of relevance to the event.

I would rate this as poor value. The company should not sell this video. Very little useful information. Elementary school level.
No insight into training sessions for the 400, the weight training routine was simplistic , the breakdown of the race was of no value and on the whole not much thought put into this by the coach and athlete. Don't buy it.

I really wish I could say nice things but alas not the case.

This is a really good overview of the 400M training routine. Coach Miller did a great job outlining and Lashawn is an excellent presenter. We've watched a few parts of this on my ipad and the way the video is segmented as an instant stream is a huge bonus.

that videa was bad!! i was not impressed at all..if i could get my money back I will!!!! 36 min, 18 min cover track....that dvd a joke and the dvd description is tricking people
let review why
The Stretch:basic statics stretches....:(
Ballistic Warm-Up: hurdle jump, where the tip for good arm movement...not impress
Stride, Rhythm and Positioning Drills: that was one of the only descent part
Breaking Down the 400: oh that was bad...dont get too excited by the preview...he break the stark kind of...then maybe 150...he doesnt break down anything after than.... he doesnt talk how to run the last 100m; the last curve
to be honet, thats upset me.... he doesnt break down the 8 50metres in the videos!!!! he only the 3 first one kind of.
Weight Training: half video about weight.....yes weight help but since when 400m is half made in the gym.they should add tempo
few interesting exercises though....for $10 you are better spend the money in speed development by clyde hart...i wish i did it.
Leshawn is a great athete....but come on...even as an instructional video...that is BS...that is not his train...static stretching at the beginning of the session...half breakdown 400....that video is a joke...i bought 3 other video in that site which are more technical of that one. conclusion: do not spend your money on that!!
