Cutting 800 time by 7 seconds in one week

Run the first lap in 61-63 and hope you hold on for dear life on the last lap...7 seconds in one week is a long shot

You can't improve your time that quick. Better luck next year

You've got the speed to go sub 2 eventually. Go though in 62/3 and hold on.

It's not about running seven faster in one week, it's about racing hard and hoping for the best. If you don't go out in 63-64 you will have basically no chance. In high school I ran 26.9, 56.6, basically the same as you, but ran 1:58.8, so it is possible for you to run 2:07 and qualify.

The only work out I would do is something like:

2 x 300@46-47

3 x 200@30-31

4 x 100@14-15

Good luck and let us know how you do!

2:07 is a slowish girl's time.

Just go out in 61 and hang on. Its not a fast time. Find someone who is doing it, get one of your team to take it though. Forget about the time. Just run faster.

Its not like you stretching the limits of human endurance.

He's an idiot or just one of the many letsrun 1:51 guys.

I dropped 6 seconds in one meet. ran 2:04 as a high school PR until last meet where I ran 1:58

What ukathleticscoach and 4:21 miler said. 62 first lap and 65 second lap will get you there. Go for it and let us know what happens!

Not gonna happen

You have 7 days to cut 7 seconds. Do the math! That's 1 second per day. Suspend all training and just do a time trial, dropping 1 second per day. Duh.

Rankings for subs came out today. I'm ranked 4th and the top 5 places go to districts, so it looks like I'll only need to run a 2:14 to move on. Still going to go for that 2:07 though.
