Ran a 2:09 800 the other day. Warmed up for two miles, then did one mile at 5:50 pace, then jumped on the track did some dynamic stretching, only two accelerations, and then the 800. It was something like 35 degrees Fahrenheit when I did it.
Thanks

Maybe 2:08.5. If it wasn't windy, 35 isn't bad once you've warmed up.

Probably about 2:07.93
I don't know if this is true with everyone but i though most distance runners preferred it colder. I know i do
35 degrees is PR conditions. Seriously.
This calculator only gives times for warmer temps, but I would say 2:07ish.
35 degrees might be ok for a 10k and up but not for anything under.
Here is my ideal temps for each event:
100-400 72F
800 65F
1500-Mile 60F
3000-5000 55F
10000 50F
10miles to marathon 45F
