800m Potentional?

Closer to 2:05. My junior year of HS I ran 24x200 in sets of 4. I ran something like 33\'s for the first two sets, 31-2\'s for the next 2 and then for the last 8x200 I was running 31,31,30,30,29,28,26,26

I ended up running 1:58. I\'d say you could go 2:01-3

2:05

a much better test is with 30 seconds recovery between each 200 with 2 minute jog between sets. From own experience if you can average <30 secs per 200 you can go sub 2.

The Kosmin test is also a good evaluation of ability :-

Not terribly relevant I realize, but I once did the following workout in high school:

4x400 @ 62,61,61,60 with a one-lap jog rest

6x200 all sub 30, with the last one sub 29, all with a 200 jog rest.

I could not break 2:00 in high school... probably more like a 2:04.

what is your long run. you need some endurance to run the 800. not a whole bunch but some.

Your 800-meter potentional is not bad, but your English potentional is horrible.

potentional is probably one of the best misspellings i've ever seen on letsrun. kudos to the OP.
