The majority of athletes taking part in the races are right-handed. Hence, the right-hand side limbs of their bodies are physically better developed and heavier than the left-hand side limbs. As they run right hand side of their bodies tend to pivot towards that side. Therefore, running becomes easier and safer especially at the curves of the racetracks when running in counter-clockwise direction.

How many times do you have to around a field in 400m?

To determine how many times you have to run around a field that is 400 meters in circumference, it depends on the total distance you want to cover. For example, if you want to run 1,600 meters, you would need to run around the field four times (1,600 ÷ 400 = 4). If you specify a different distance, simply divide that distance by 400 meters to find the number of laps.


How do you calculate split time?

A split time is basically the time it takes to run a fraction of a race. If there is a 1500 meter race, there could be split times at 400 meters, 800 meters, and 1200 meters. So the time it took to run the first 400 meters of the 1500 meter race would be called a split time.
