1'50 is a cool barrier for 800m.
Where do you have the opportunity to run a 1500 anytime you want but not an 800? And I thought you were talking about a mile. What barriers are you chasing? 800 woukd be 2 minutes at this point in life. Are you trying to break 4:20?

If it makes you feel more comfortable, call it 11.2 or .3 speed I really could care less.
COULDN'T care less, not COULD. For the love of God, why is this so hard for people?
Probably not faster unless you did real workouts. If you’re not training at race pace or faster than race pace once a week idk what you’re doing.

You mean you couldn’t care less? Or you could?
He’s prob dumb AF. Saying he could care less means he cares to some extent because there is more room for him to care less than what he currently does.
I'm glad you guys are finding pleasure in stroking your massive directional university egos.

I got a great chuckle TBH. What percent of college graduates do you think get this wrong? I would bet 75%. Definitely more than 50%
10% of D1 grads
30% of D3 grads
40% of D2 and NAIA.
Saying 75% get it wrong shows that you are an idiot because 50% get it correct by guessing.
From my interactions this is not the case. Don’t bother making the comment that I hang around idiots because it’s too predictable.
D2 dropout? Do you understand that guessing between 2 choices will result in being correct 50% of the time.

I would contend that most aren’t even aware there are two options.
A good test would be to use the phrase incorrectly in normal conversation and ask if anyone noticed you saying anything grammatically incorrect. I think that method is better than an either/or question because most would be surprised to even see two options.
Don’t bother. I’m aware I should have used the adverb form and added -ly to incorrect.
Nope. It was correct the first time. I’m an idiot now.

I ran ~4:18 when I did 55 mpw freshman year of college. Got back into good shape recently (years later) and have been running 70-85 mpw and feel pretty strong. I’m a very speed-oriented guy (sub 11 100m speed).
What could I expect for some mile progression in the next few months?
You could see massive gain. You could see absolutely nothing. The key to improving middle distance times isn't to continuely stack on more and more mileage, despite what Letsrun says. Having sub-11 speed while running 55mpw is very impressive. Likely you won't see any progress from a hug jump to 85mpw. You'd be best off staying at 55-60 while trying to improve your ability to use that good max speed.
Get on those 200 and 400 repeats. Build your speed endurance to get your 800m down. You could probably get close to 1:50 with a sub-11 100m time and a 4:18 mile. Going through a half mile split in 2:05 or lower will be way easier if that split is a full 15 seconds off your max 800m effort. An extremely important part of distance running is assuring that your maximal effort and your race pace have a significant gap. Someone with a 1:55 800m PB is going to be in a world of hurt going through the half mile point in 2:05. Someone with a sub-1:50 PB is going to feel way less strain at the same split. Long slow slogs of slapping your feet against the pavement an extra 2-3 hours per week will not help improve your ability to work near maximal threshold. You need that maximal threshold to be higher through specific interval training.
Keep your mileage the same. Focus on that good speed you have. Don't ruin yourself with junk miles

These 2 sentences are somewhat contradictory. OP has stated that we can call it 11.2 or 11.3. Big difference from 10.9. Anyway, that's great speed regardless and I agree that very few on these boards understand the importance of pure speed. Not sure what 85 mpw will get him tho.
One other thing to the OP: If you're running close to 11 flat in the 100 and you can run a sub 4:20 mile; your 400 should be much faster than 50ish. More like 48.xx or faster.
Like Really Bro wrote: Vigil says good 800m runners have sub 11 speed and I can sprint like mad and have always been able to.
Incorrect. Very few good 800 meter runners have this leg speed. Sub 11 is flying. Most excellent (not just good) 100 meter runners do though.

Not much.
Lydiard says the first couple of years of endurance training don't really see that much improvement. It's after that you see the real gains.
But stick with it because you will be phenomenal if you have that sort of natural speed.

RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
Running for Bowerman Track Club used to be cool now its embarrassing
Hats off to my dad. He just ran a 1:42 Half Marathon and turns 75 in 2 months!
