Today i ran an 800 in my meet a little while after PRing in the 300mH, and better my only time from last year by 5 seconds. Ive done no training for anything over 400m, and run maybe 8 miles a week. My average 400 time (which i run every week) is a mid 53. How low do you think i could get the 8 with some real training?
209
Why don't you do some real training, run an 800 and then come on here and tell us?
You should break 2:00.

I cant because in high school its not always the athletes choice as to what they get to run. I need to run to score the most points for my team, not to run my own best times. If we have 3 guys faster than me in the 8, but only two people on teh team can run the 300mH and im one of them, tell me it doenst make sense to train for those. Instead of just responding with an unintelligent, unhelpful answer, how about you just try and help me out a little or just ignore the whole thread?

Sub 4 in the mile 4 years from now off of 35 miles per week with tons of speed endurance.
Relax dude, the only way your question might be answered is if you do some training first. Other than that, it would be pure speculation. Here is the range I predict: 2:10 to 1:58. 53s 400 speed is not fast enough for a good 800.
all im asking for is speculation. my 400 time is suffering from a lack of substantial training too. I was much closer to a 50 over teh summer when i was doing my own training and running lots of miles with less speed-endurance, intervals on the track.
With Basic speed of 53 secs the 1500m sounds more like youre event, in which case you will need to start training like one. else 2:10 is probably the fastest you will go.
How old are you? - If youre 15 or under, then you are pretty close to being in the most talented group of athletes, if youre any older then youre average to good and are showing some potential.
Go and find a decent distance coach and you will be on your way and a decent group to train with.
