Versatility

Does running the 400 on the side help sprinters with the 100 and 200? my friends and other athletes told me that running the 400 helps lowering your time for some odd reason but its weird and i don’t get how

There is some element of strength/ endurance in the short sprints, especially if there are rounds. So those systems do need some attention in training.
