What can I run an 800 in?

I used to do that exact workout once a season. Each 400 was supposed to be run at the same pace as our first lap of an 800. I would bet you can run around 2:16-2:18. Especially if you have someone to run with

Have you gained weight since high school? I dropped out of college and sort of kept running for a few years before I got serious as I was in high school. I did not do track workouts, just ran fast five milers or fast hill workouts during a five mile run, with a long distance day once a week. I entered all-comers track meets and ran a 1:55, which is only slightly slower than my high school time. The next couple years I hit the weights and did more speed work and got down to 1:51.1.

You don't have the speed you need to run much under 2:10, but it is possible with determination. I'd watch your diet and your weight and get in lots of road miles. Consider finishing up a road run with a fast final mile or run fast for 60 seconds every mile during a road run. You have to run at speed to improve your speed. Aim for a low 60's first lap.

Be sure to return here and tell us how you are doing.
