Why can't I break 2:00 800!

What toppings? Also, do you wear the same colour socks on each foot? As well, listen to country music two days before your meet.

70 + 54 = 2:04 or 70 + 55=2:05

As the old saying goes, you get what you put in. If you don't like running, than quit. But, than don't wonder why you suck. But if you don't want to suck anymore, start adding 15 minutes of running when you first wake up in every morning. And also, look up Malmo thoughts on long runs. Volume spread out over the entire week matters more than long runs.

your coach tells you to die in the final bend?

take your workouts slower. You are leaving your races in your workouts. Look what you wrote your teammates are running 1:55 and are doing workouts in :65. Leave the racing for the races not practice.

You run 51.36 miles per week? Never 51.35 or 51.37?

Completely unbelievable troll, at least try to make it seem realistic. Cant believe you got anyone to respond to this

Try harder next time

You're still wasting too much effort in the first 400. Go out in 75 and come back in 44.

I'd be more annoyed at someone who made a troll post that seemed completely normal, then I'd give a real response and never even realise it was useless. What's the point in that...

At least this one was obvious and gave me a slight chuckle.

So outside of saying you don't like running, you probably don't need 2 long runs-or even 1- to break 2. Replace them with 2 more up tempo 45 minutes runs.

It changes alot, usually vegan but with pepperoni. Both my socks are green but one is a different shade. (slightly darker) I thought they would be close enough to the same but maybe not. Could this be my problem?

I put it into an online running calculator and it said 51.36 was ideal for me. So I hit it on the dot every week. Sometimes coach will get mad at me because I will stop running midway through a 400 in a track workout when I hit it.

One time I accidentally ran to long and hit it in the first two days. Later that week I was late for my bus but couldn't run, I've never speedwalked that fast in my life haha.

I missed the bus by 20 secs.

Probably not. The same sock rule doesn't apply for green. The music you listen to two days before the race is more likely the limiting factor. No hard rock please. That should give you a fighting chance. Coward of the County for a week up until two days before the race should seal the deal.

Do a TT. Go out in 59 and see what happens, report back.

Why are people replying seriously to this
