what can i run for 800m?

2.01

2 years ago I ran 4:07 and 9:09 and at the same time ran 1:57 for 800m.

13yr old at 2:05 Hmmmm.

If you were 13 running a 2:05 then your pr would be looking a bit better than they are now.

1:57 to 1:59

2:00-2:04

Most people who run a 4:07 1500m would run in that range. However, he seems to be pretty weak aerobically, a 4:07 guy should be running much faster than 9:06, so based on that I would say 1:57-2:00.

Find one Saturday and go run it, then you will know.

Sorry, I was being lazy and going off the McMilliam charts. Indeed, his 4:07 corresponded to a 2:00 800m and his 9:06 a 2:04 800m, so you are right, he is weak aerobically, and has a good shot at sub 2:00

Thanks for the interesting replies. i actually ran 2:02.20 on the weekend, but i feel that i could have done much better as it was at the end of the season and i feel so run down. plus on the day didnt really prepare well. i stuffed around at the beach a bit. and by the way heres a link to when i ran this is where i ran 2:05/800m. i turne 13 on the 30th april.

i know its depressing. i should be running much faster now. i actually got down to 4:12 in 2001 but since then injury has wrecked me. and it wasnt til just lately that i ran 4:07. so a 12s improvement in 5 years. it sucks

Depends somewhat on your 400 speed. Most likely 2:02-2:03, but 4:07 with :57 would be different than 4:07 with :51.

Jacob, DON'T send your address to anyone on the internet.

If you ran 2:05 five years ago and just ran a 2:02 at age 18 you should be able to go faster.

Also, check this out from the results:

Not 100% sure but I think Willis may have lost his shoe in that race and still won.

he did, ive got that race on video camera

Line up, shoot the gun and find out.

Hard to predict without knowing what you can do for 400..
