You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: HS Coach 2 Subject: RE: requisite 400m time need for 2:18 800m Body: You shouldn't be guessing as to what her 400 time is, you should know. The fact that you don't probably means you have a distance bias, which also shows in that you would rather have her run the 4:50/10:30 than the 2:18. Not a big criticism, just the way some coaches are. While there are always exceptions, a 2:18 runner can almost always run a 64 or better for the 400. Most of my sub 2:20s run between 59-62. Watch almost any girl run a 2:18 and her split will be 66-67 so you need a little cushion there. Since it seems like you're a distance guy anyway and aren't comfortable training an 800 runner, might as well run her in the 15/3 where you are confident training her. Keep in mind though, speed will eventually be a limiting factor. She most likely won't be running any better than 4:50 if you can't get her under 2:20.
