I was a 1:52 800m guy and could run 47 for 400m but my best mile was only around 4:25. I could never put together a good mile or 1500m. |

@ Sama O Same O Nah, my problem is bad coaching. I've realized too late in the year that my endurance shouldn't have been neglected, now I'm looking for some hope that I can run a decent 800m time. |

Yes, there are lots of people who fall into this category. Depends if you are a 400/800 guy or a 800/1600 guy. As a coach, I've converted a lot of sprinters to 800 meter runners, but none of them are worth a damn in the 1600. I had a 1:58 guy who ran a 5:20 his senior year. |

800m-2:08 1500m-4:11 I still want to know how I pulled that off. I am more of a 5k runner though... |

Wilson Kipketer: 1:41, and a 3:59 mile (If i recall the mile correctly) |
| ankle injury |

1:57 (800), 4:27 (1600m). Never heard of a tempo run until 2010, just trusted my coach's regimen of LSD and short intervals. |

400m - 51.8 800m - 1:56.9 1600m - 4:42 Based on other posts, I think I'm the winner (either me or the 2:03/5:10 guy). In fact, I don't even understand the prior poster that did 1:56 and 4:26 thinking he also has this imbalance as to me it seems his 1600m was superior (or at the very least equal to his 800). Note that I did run the 800m a lot more often than the 1600m (say 3X per month for the 800 vs. 1-2X per year for the 1600m), so I probably had more left on the table in the longer distance. That being said, I was probably more fast twitch and somewhat bigger than your typical miler, so I doubt that I could have ever broke say 4:30 even if I had focused on and had more shots at that distance. |
