TRUTH or CRAP? 40 Yard Dash to Determine 400 meter Potential Posted: 10 Aug 2010 09:00 AM PDT One of the quickest and oldest 40 yard dash predictor for 400 meter talent (or any sprinting distance) is running a 40 yard dash. Then, For Male athletes = (Time for 40 yards × 10) + 2 seconds For Female athletes = (Time for 40 yards × 10) + 4 seconds Thus, for a man, a 4.6 40 yard dash is (4.6 seconds x 10) + 2 = 48.0 Now, it's not saying that a 4.6 40 yard guy WILL run 48 flat for 400m, though funnily enough, my 40 yard dash was 4.6 and I ran 48.36. It's saying a 4.6 40 yard dash has the POTENTIAL of running 48 seconds for 400 meters based on raw speed. As Jared Deacon nicely pointed out, speed is the key… your 400m is based on your 200 time, your 200m is based on your 100 time, your 100m is based on your 60 time, your 60m is based on your 30 time.  Or 40 yard or 36.6 meters. The following chart are National norms using hand times for 16 to 19 year olds.  Where do you rank?  What is your best 40 yard dash time and 400 meter time?  How accurate is this formula?
