I am a sophmore boy in high school. I am an 800 runner and my pr is 2:14. I have never really done any summer training before so i would like to know what a good training plan would be for the summer to get faster. I am shooting to get to around 2:05 next year so my team can go to penn relays.
Do you run XC? If you're more on the endurance side of the 800m you should be running tempos, 3k/5k pace intervals, and high mileage over the summer and cross in the fall. If you're more like a 400/800 guy, I'm not really sure exactly what you'd want to do over the summer. Maybe you could get some more racing in and then use XC as your base. Someone else on here could probably tell you more specifically.
Also search the "sub-1:50 800m training" thread. Great stuff on there.
In the fall I actually play soccer not run xc. I am definitely more of a 800/mile guy though. Also i will look up that thread. Thanks for the recommendation
How about asking your HS coach? He/she may have some good ideas for you.
