Thank you trainers for your contribution. Regarding strength training, how many times a week is it necessary. Sorry for any mistakes, English is not my first language.

Some good stuff on this one too:
What does your training look like now? In the specific period I like to do workouts like sets of 400 at 800m pace, 200m jog, 200 hard to work on that gear change and the "kick", This can progress to things like sets of 600 at 800 pace, 200m jog, 200 hard closer to end of the season racing.

In the country where I live, the competition season is over. I competed 4 times this year. As I mentioned initially, I'm getting back to training. Without training, I did 2'02 in the 800m. After 15 days of training, as continuous runs I did 2'00. I didn't do general preparation, I've already arrived in the competitive period. This year I only trained for 2 months. I want to make a good preparation to race next year between 1'52 and 1'54. As I said in the first post, I have the dream of running below 1'50 in the 800m. I know it's not easy, it's not a world-class brand either, but for me it will be very rewarding, in other words, it's a personal achievement. During these two months of training, I did the following: 3x a week I ran 30' at a pace of 4'30 per km + on the other three days I normally did 8x400m at a pace of 68 seconds with 3 minutes of rest as well as a few repetitions (3 or 4) 1000m at a pace of 3'15 to 3'20 per km, with a rest period of 3min. On Sunday I rested. Sorry for the mistakes, English is not my first language, so I have the help of google translator.
