30th June 2023 I ran 2:12 splitting 1:03/1:09 off around 25mpw
This winter Im building up to 50mpw doing lots of tempos and long runs above 10 miles, supplementing it with hill reps, strides and core conditioning
What would be a realistic time for me in 2024? I was hoping for 2:00 flat, Im 21yo male and started to run 1,5 year ago
It's realistic. It might not happen, but it's far from impossible.

You are doing a ton of training that has little to do with 800m running and more like a 5k runner…
No one can say how much you will improve but 12s is a lot for someone who has been training 1.5 years. Maybe if you haven’t done any speed endurance work..
Higher mileage and 10+ mi long runs aren't necessarily the best ways to get better at the 800.
They will help, but you need to be developing your speed more.
I recommend swapping a day of mileage for a speed workout.

its cold where I live so running fast is very taxing with the harsh wind
