Ok, so I have the state meet next week. top 8 advance to finals and im going in seeded number 10. I cant seem to break 2 in the 800 for some reason. ive ran 2:01 two weeks in a row, both after running PRs in the 1600. the first week I ran 4:40 and 2:01.53 at regions then the second week at sectionals I ran 4:38.3 and 2:01.00. I have a week off this week and then state is on next week. 1600m Thursday night, 800m prelims Friday, then if I make it 800m finals on Saturday. why cant I break 2? can I break 2? is it because of the previous fatigue from the 1600? my PRs are

1600m- 4:38.3

800m- 2:00.4

400m- 52.4

4x400m split- 49.6

Wow, didn't know you could make the state meet with times that slow in some states, lucky you!

You haven't broken 2 yet because you are right at that point fitness-wise it sounds like, so in order to break two will take a good race and a good day. If top 8 make it to state finals, focus on making top 8, not on running sub 2. If you do that, you may end up running sub 2 and making finals, right?

To run sub two, you will want to go out in about 57 to 58 for the first 400. Good luck.

Because you're doing too much Crossfit.
