8X800m workout w/ 60sec recovery- what can I run for 800m and 5k?

11.5 and 22.8 are pretty fast

what's your 800 pr?

1:52...though I am probably a couple months away from that shape

1:50 for the 800

15:00 for the 5K

11.5 ht in training? Were you timing yourself or was your girlfriend timing you? That could be 11.1 or 11.9, half a second is not much.

I ran 11.5/11.6, 11.5/11.7, 11.5/11.5 and 11.7/11.6 4 times during a workout timed by 2 different people. So i think it's pretty accurate.

Why are your downhill reps slower than your uphill reps? Am I reading that right?

800: 1:49.2

5K: 13:15

Un letsrunner avec un girfriend?

Sûrement non!

I hadn't noticed that, but you're right. I guess didn't really push the downhills hard, plus the reps were getting faster as I got warmed up, and the downhill ones were first so they ended up being slower. Total elevation gain/loss was about 55-60 feet.

Any more predictions? I'm doing 800s again tomorrow (10 or 12) and I guess I'll post them here.

800m-1:54

5000m-14:47

good luck and I hope you go under and prove me wrong.

We can't tell you anything about how well you'll run. And If you need to fish for compliments anonymously in order to have confidence in your training, you have no chance of running fast. Just show up to your race ready.

why did you even bother posting if your going to be negative.I ask people all the time what am I going to run.

all these threads that ask, "what can I run off this workout", should be banned, just run a race for f*** sakes and you will get your answer

It's december there are no 800m races, maybe indoor but indoor sucks

10X800m in 2:35, 2:33, 2:26, 2:32, 2:25, 2:26, 2:18, 2:23, 2:17, 2:18

2 minutes rest this time, but also 2 more intervals. Any thoughts?

bump...also 6X250m in (42, 42, 36, 37, 35.5, 36) with 30-60 seconds rest (this workout was a lot easier then the other two) 36 seconds/250m=29 seconds/200m

bump...also 6X800m in 2:24, 2:26, 2:19, 2:23, 2:16, 2:08 with 1 minute rest. raining hard

bump...another 800m session tomorrow
