800m training help

1/10

Why do you need a training program?

dont reply if your not going to help

lift weights from the beginning of your base phase. Don't add them on later.

Your old ass is not in high school.

Ask your coachhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, if you are on the teammmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. ASS HOLD!!!!!!!!

I always think it is odd that on the one hand the board acts like a kid is a punk for going around his coach and asking for advice here, but also maintains that most hs xc coaches are garbage and don't know what they are talking about.

Just an observation.

Great post!!

I agree with you. Do people not understand the concept of getting a second opinion? The guy's already a senior, so I'm sure the coach has had plenty of time to provide his/her input. We get second opinions for a doctor's recommendation, and yet we shouldn't get one for a coach? Good grief. This site is like trying to find a diamond in a sewage tank.

As for the OP - have you read through the massive "sub 1:50 800m training" thread?

not in high school alright?? a senior isnt high school. i dont understand y people take the time to post negative comments when someone is just on here looking for help. And my coach is old school he recommending i look around online for help putting these in my routine. just looking for a nice response not negative comments that have nothing to do with the post

Is this to me? I know the OP is a senior at Indiana, and I assumed that was college - what does it matter if he's a senior in HS or college. My point is that he's had time to form a relationship with his coach, so the coach may have exhausted his knowledge at this point. That sub 1:50 800m thread is probably going to be as good as it gets at this point.

nope hs but thanks

So.... have you read through the sub 1:50 800m training thread or not? I'm guessing you have, but I just wanted to make sure.
