This past track season I went 1:51.5, never getting above 20 mpw because of injury and sickness all winter. What can I do with proper 800m training?

1:51.5
split 47.1 by the end of the season. Never tried a 1500 but as a frosh in college went 3:55.0
You will be able to beat Caster Semenya...
20 miles tells me little...
You could have run 8 times 400 every day and had 20 miles for the week...
Did 400's and 600's w/ about 3-4 miles for easy days. 6 days/wk.
Emerson?
Just run 1 mile a week ass hole.
Wow this went nowhere. Thanks guys.
Here's how it works. You decide how good you are going to be, and you train for that goal.
1.50? 49? 48? 47? 46? 45? 44? 43?
Get on with it and don't start any more silly threads bragging about how good you are off low mileage, just get on with it and don't waste your talent.
If you train right you won't get ill or injured.
Yeah, really great responses, weren't they. It's hard to know what your potential is, not knowing all sorts of things about you -- age, build, all sorts of factors -- but Jesus, if you can run 1:51 off that amount of training you have -- let's just say -- CONSIDERABLE potential. So start working harder! :)
One of my guys ran 1:52.2 as a senior on less mileage than that. He's run 1:48.xx his first two years in college on quite a bit more training.
It must be nice to have such talent. However, if you were injured and sick all winter, perhaps you can't handle any more than 20 mpw.
