What is the best way to run the 200 meter dash on an indoor flat track?

When I run the indoor 200, the 2nd turn always kills me, it messes up my stride and momentum basically ruining my race. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Well I have a question for you? What about the turn messes you up? Is it that you are getting really tired by the time you reach the 2nd turn or is it the fact that it is a non banked track which makes it more difficult to run the turn. If it is that you are really tired than try running more 250′s and 300′s to get some more endurance. If it is the track itself that is messing you up than try this when you are about 1/2 way through the turn start pushing towards the outside of your lane and just before you come off the turn cut to the inside and sprint with all you got (cutting to the inside will make the turn a little more straight therefore a little less stress on your body). Also during the turn lean to the inside a little and really push the pace harder. As you are cutting to the inside straighten your body up and look straight down the track at the finish line. The whole leaning and making the turn straighter is called sling shotting off the turn. Good luck and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to send me an email.
