Hey I am just about to start my track season up and I was wondering if a sub 2 800m would be possible this season. I was never really competitive even in slower races but after a few time trials I think I have a shot at being a competitor at some meets. My coach thinks I am going to focus on the 1600/800 this year (never really had a focus before just kinda ran everything). My times are like this
Freshman:
5k xc: 19:56
3200m: 11:24
1600m: 5:22
800m: 2:10
Sophomore:
5k xc: 18:01
3200m: 11:02 (was a pacer in my only 3200 this year)
1600m: 4:58
800m: 2:13
400m: 57
Junior:
5k xc: 18:00
5k (track solo time trial): 17:21
3200m (solo time trial): 10:53
1600m (group time trial): 4:48
800m (solo time trial): 2:06
All those time trials were run in November and December with the exception of the 5k which I ran like 3 weeks ago. Our first race is on saturday and I am running the 800m. I think I am gonna shoot for a 2:04 or 2:05. If I were to hit that time do you guys think that there is a chance that I go sub 2 by the end of the season.
