Training Advice/Discussion 800

3 years ago 01/14/2021 9:08am EST

Hi Guys, its been a while since any serious threads on middle-distance training. Probably one of the greatest threads on here which was serious was the 'Sub 1:50 800m' thread... But its potentially quite outdated now with the best 800m runners nowadays running around 40-50 miles. Is this the new way for 800m training? Should we be considering the 800 as a long sprint?.... Could we make this a serious thread with up to date training for the 800m, times of 1:50 and down. And let's not have the muppets entering invalid information. Cheers, and hopefully we can make a serious thread. Like the old 'Sub 1:50 800m'.

Hopefully we can get people with experience and knowledge.

Again Thanks.

I don't think it's outdated at all.

I haven't even read through it all but I've read a lot of it, and there are varying takes on mileage and what to do for it

Plus I don't think the training listed by oldsub4 is exactly "wrong" with that being Gag's training. If you can't respect someone like that I'd say you have a bit more to learn. There's more than one way to skin a cat in running depending on the strengths and weaknesses of the runner.

If you want to read more about low mileage 800 training that seems "new" just look back at Coe's training. Everything you need is pretty much out there already.
