Times were: 26.5, 27.1 (oops), 26.6, 26.7, 26.4, 26.1, 26.2, 26.6, 25.8, 25.5 Context: Mid-high 60s, sunny, rather windy (started into a cross wind), spikes, solo. What can I run in an 800? Thanks for the help! |

Depends on your rest, I'm going to guess that you are no slower than 1:58/2:00 |

If I ran this session I would expect a 1:55. |

Same 1:55 |

What?! When I do a session like this I can run 1.51... |

If you could have done this on exactly 60 seconds rest, this is what I would have said: 1:45.4 in a good race on your best day in best conditions. This is what your average is (26.35) times 4. Since you had 20-25% more rest than that, probably two seconds slower. |

I only use 30 second 100 meter or stand still rest as an indicator for 800 fitness, solely because being more geared towards the 400, that must rest means you recover a hell of a lot between reps, and 27's don't feel super fast to me. I did a session of 8x200 100 meter jog (around 30 seconds) averaging 29.5-30.5, and at the same time would do cut downs of 8x200 starting and 30 and ending at around 25.5 (so 27.5 average). I ran 1:57 that year, but never felt great in a race. I would think you can run about 1:52 or 1:53, but you'd have to give us another indicator workout with much less rest. GL! |

Of course I'm guessing you did not do that as that would require common sense |

Thanks for the responses! It is interesting....they are way across the board. ukathleticscoach: Yes, that would require common sense. Unfortunately, I never did this workout the year of my PR, so I cannot compare. |

I did a workout similiar to that. Except i ony did 6 200's and they ranged from 28 to 25. I was in 1:59 shape then. So i think you could proably be in like 1:53 shape depending on your PR and how hard that workout was. 200's arent the best way to measure fitness though... I've ran 4x200 at the end of a workout in 25 with limited rest. Each of them got easier cause i had time to recover from the speed workout i did earlier. but the point is, people can be running 200's in 25, and be recovering more and more each interval. |

Let's see. Last spring I did 8x200 averaging 28.7 (1:54.8 pace) with 200 jog recovery in 62-67. Later that week I raced a 1500 in 4:00, then 3 weeks later raced an 800 in 1:54.6. So take that for whatever it means. |

You need to e-mail your track coach. |

Thanks again for the responses! Unfortunately, I am my own coach, so I cannot email my track coach. I just like to come on here once in awhile after a key workout and see where people think that I am. Thanks! |

Any more thoughts? |

Then do the workout you did do! What's your pr and how old are you? |
