Im 5'10" and a senior in HS and 150 lbs. My prs are 50.7 and 2:01 for the 400 n 800. on monday i did 800 meters of lunge walks(coach punished the team for some people being late) tuesday was a meet and i had 4x800,200,800,and 4x400. I was dead but imanaged 2:05 in the open and relay 800s 24.95on the 200(about 5 min after 4x800) and 53 in the 4x400. wednesday was an easy 6 miles and today was 10x200,5x150,2x100. i hit 29 28 28 27 28 27 27 27 27 26 (90-120 sec rest) the 150s werent timed but were quick and the 100s were 12.3 and 12.1.

1:57.6 and 50.4 assuming its great conditions and you are mentally ready, but you haven't broken the 2:00 barrier so it'll be tough but. Either 1:59.8 or 1:57 ish.

I am by no means an expert nor should you take this as the exact times you will run but I'll say 2.00-01 in an 800 and 51 high in a 400, if you're fresh and feeling good.

Breaking 2 minutes when you haven't before isn't easy at all, at least it wasn't for me. I did it at the age of about 18 and prior to running my 1.59.6 I had run 2.00.xx about 6 times over the course of a year or two. After I got under it I almost never ran above 2 minutes again but it was a pretty slow process getting under. I would've been doing a low 52 400 at the time if that helps.

Also had a guy a couple years younger than me go from 2.04 to 2.01 to 1.58 in the space of a few runs so it's different for everyone and you might find it easier.

I'd say 2:00 maybe 1:59. Low 51 for 400.

Your coach is a f'kin lunatic though.

Lunge walks?

LUNGE WALKS!

Hate to see what he punishes the team with if one of you really screw up.

I coached with a guy who made the runners who were late do pushups. Not my style but at least it wasn't arbitrary. The kids never complained. After a while if they came late they would just do their pushups (20) and that would be that.

i freakin agree! The very Effed up part is i have to sit one meet a season because in kanasas were only allowed 8 meets. Well i had to sit the meet this friday but he forced me to run tuesday and i was sick all weekend leading into the meet...wtf i even asked if i could sit tueday and run friday. Enpough coach bashing though atleast it prolly gave me a good workout. The mid D coach at my school said to get under 2 asap, after that he says i can run fast i just need to get it out of the way.
