If he steps on a track tomorrow probably 2:45 - 3:00 and im a big joker fan
You're an idiot. My sister ran sub 3 minutes for an 800 in junior high with no training.
I think you're delusional. Everyone here either ran a sub 5 mile at 14 or knows someone who did and thinks its indicative of the general sports populace.
Novak is 36 years old and plays a sport that is quick burst running and doesn't even require the same level of fitness as soccer, although it obviously requires fitness. Im assuming that at 36 he runs a 6-6:30 mile, and that he isnt super speed based and his 800 is somewhere equivalent to that.
He doesnt really need to run faster than 6 at all, and most of his training is tennis based and he does a lot of stretching. In what world is he running a 2:20 800m
Maybe when he was younger he'd be closer to 2:30, but not at 36 and near 20 years of competing at the highest level

If he goes all out with no specific preparation training, he pukes big time at the end
all the same, I would be shocked if he does not break 2:10
This is not as hard as some people think. he is a world class athlete and requires fitness to do his sport, though of a some what different kind -- but enough that he would not be embarrassed. He may be 36 but he is a really good 36
only the hobby joggers think he would be slower. all the posters that are or were serious track athletes known innately that he would do pretty well maybe even sub 2:00 on his first all out try.
