I'm 16 years old and I just started running today and ran an 800m in 1:56.34

I woke up today and my coach told me to go for an easy 3km run for my very first run. So I did but during the 3k run I started getting curious what I could run an 800m in since that will be my focus. So I decided I would run an 800m time trial in the afternoon. So I waited until the afternoon to give my legs rest from my easy 3k morning run. When I felt ready to go I decided to run an 800m as hard as I can and I ran a 1:56.34. Is this good for someone who just started running? I'm wondering because my friends were saying that's insane and all, but I'm not even sure?

Your friends are messing with you. Half of the high school girls in the country can run that time. Quit now and spare yourself the humiliation of getting chicked at every meet.

Kinda slow. I ran 1:52 my first day.

He's done. Stick a fork in him.

This sport sucks, do something else

^^IJustStartedRunning actually JustStartedTrolling as evidenced by this poor q quality troll.

I assume you are a girl. If yes, that's not a bad time and you should keep training.

Regardless of gender, please refer to the 3k as a 1.865 mile going forward so we understand what you are talking about.

I think you could potentially place in the special olympics.

Possible errors:

-200m track

-GPS failure

-Road markers misplaced

-stupidity

Were you by chance chased by a bear?

Are you sure you are not still dreaming,haha!

A very bad "trolling" . :)

This is a pretty bad 800m time even if it's the first time you've done it. David Rudisha's WR is 1:40. Soryy, just give up now.

U suck.

Just to confirm, you did 1 whole lap around the track in 1:56! Impressive!

Caster Semanya would beat you troll

What impresses me the most is that this guy had a time accurate to 1/100 of a second. On his first day of running!

Go immediately to Kenya and report to Dr. Rosa he will make you WR holder and you will be the first to break under 1:35.

Just as believable as my 4:15 mile on a trail with a Garmin.

Ignore tthe haters. Thats actually a reallt good time for your first try. Keep up. Who knows, maybe the skies the limit!

Kinda reminds of the time, when I woke up one morning and out of the blue with no running experience completed 3 marathons in that same day!

As legit as my Boston Qualifier!
