Is it possible to getmy 800 metre time down from 2:23 to 2:15 -10 in a few months.

Yes. If you just started running, this may happen naturally. If not, it sounds like you have a good handle on training. Make sure you get in at least 35 miles per week. And you need to be doing something speed related every day. Strides, sprints, hills. You really need to improve your aerobic ability though so focus on that to start the season.

Hello. Yes, absolutely. the 800 is a prolonged sprint in reality.at your age I would recommend building your endurance base by running 3-5 milers at a comfortable pace that is 60-70% of max at least twice every week coupled with two speed workouts on the track.one could be a ladder workout.start with a mile/1500 at 5:20,one lap easy jog;1200 at 80 second pace,2laps easy jog,400 at 70-75. I would do this on a Monday,next two days use as fartlek;at least 3 miles of varying speeds on soft surface, such as grass/trails.some jogging, some fast tempo runs ,couple of fast but not all out sprints,followed by easy pace. Thursday, track. 4-6 400's at 70 seconds,one lap easy jog recovery between.you have to not only increase your max.vo2, but train your body,muscles to run fast, run efficiently at the speed you will race. on the weekend do an easy 3 mile run on sat., sunday try to run a comfortable 3-5 miles at 7+ PER MILE. additionally, one must increase upper body strength to run fast and respond to competition when fatigued. pullups are essential,situps are essential, and benchpresses are essential.these should be reps with moderate weight based on your ability.not trying to set any records. remember, to improve you must increase difficulty gradually.injuries happen when one does too much too fast. in particular at your age, be careful about shin splints.make sure your shoes are in good shape,fit your particular foot shape.use the shoe you race in when doing speed work on the track. and, remember that your ability will increase greatly with a planned consistent training program. eat healthy,get rid of any excess body fat. it's ok to ache a bit from your workouts but if you have any sore or painful spots in hamsprings, Achilles,shins etc,take a couple of days of easy training or alternate training.swimming is good. I am now 63.i started running track in 1966.started with the 400/800, moved to the mile/2mile junior year,plus crosscountry. had some great coaches,other older runners including billy Rodgers,amby burfoot that I ran with in high school.later went to bowling green state in ohio and ran on scholarship both track and crosscountry.ran with dave wottle,sid sink, and other super runners.have competed at just about every distance including marathons.i tell you this only to let you know that I know some things. listen to your body, be mentally tough but avoid as much as possible getting injured by overtraining or attempting workouts that are too difficult. at 14, you have plenty of time to improve dramatically.you can't do it when you are injured all the time. keep the faith in yourself .there is nothing that takes the place of being physically ready as a result of a planned program. a ten week training program is a normal period of time. keep a daily log of your training,how you felt,what you did,take your pulse after the end of your speed work,check wrist pulse for 15 sec while recovering,make note of it. good training to you.happy to help.let me know if I can be of assistance.
