Hey guys, I'm wondering what I'll be able to get in the 800 this year. I have a few months(June)to prepare for my provincial (or state) meet.
So far, I've been running for a year and a half. I have not been injured ever. My form is on point and I have a strong core.
Last year (June), I peaked at about 2:07 for the 800m and 53 high for the 400m. My mileage was somewhere around 30-40k (20 miles)consistently throughout the year.
I was trained by my school coach and saw him on average three times a week, and training was not individualized for me.
This year, I joined a track club and I'm doing speed-based 800m workouts (my strength). I do a lot of quality work on and off the track. I am increasing the intensity of mileage and slowly tapering off on longer runs.
Some workouts I've done are:
8x200m with 4 minute rest. (31,31,30.30.31.30,30,27)
3x1000m with 5 minute rest. (3:10,3:08,3:13)
2-4-6-4-2 ladder with 2 minute rest (34,75,1:45,74,30)
10x400m with 1 minute rest (ranging 75-83 and 63 last one)
My mileage has increased to roughly 45-50k per week. A harder mileage run would look like 8k with 4:10 per km.
PBs:
200m - 24 low
400m - 53 high
800m - 2:07 low
1500m - 4:23
3000m - 9:46
TL;DR: Look at PBs, I have a renowned coach and run 45k per week total. What would a realistic goal look like in the 800m? (Also include 400m if you have an idea, that would be great)
Here are the most recent workouts I've done. The workouts above are a few months old.
8x200m with 2:30 rest. (31, 29, 28, 29, 30, 29, 30, 26)
3x1000m with 3 minute rest. 3:08, 3:10, 3:02
