Track Workout: Breaking 2 Minutes in the 800M Race!

[@tylerbailey4873]

As someone who runs well under 2:00, would not recommend trying to negative or flat split the 800. The best way, and what any collegiate coach would say, is to run an 800 with a positive split, meaning run the first lap faster than the second. Ideally should be about 2-3 seconds slower the second lap. But everyone is different.

[@finlayhutchinson7370]

consistency is key

[@YSoAggressive]

Tyler Bailey I agree. I broke 2:00 for the first time last week running 1:58.58 and my splits were 0.57 and 0.61

[@thevanimalyoop7821]

YSoAggressive see I want to break 2 minutes. I’m at a 2 flat and I do a 300 meter workout and run 45 seconds through every rep. Any tips or anything for breaking 2. I’m hoping to break it at my next meet

[@Hensley_Jb]

These dudes look like they need more aerobic training than speed training

[@danielgiddings6817]

Nah, more alactic training

[@ViiRaLChaoticGamerTM23]

They need more miles put in if they had the insurance they would be set to go race pace all those sets

[@Hensley_Jb]

ViiRaL Chaotic very true imma try this and see where I’m at during this offseason

[@nou8131]

They should do 4 sets of 800s with 60 second rest in between. And go for 2:45 on each of them.

[@jdfactoryclips_]

@@nou813160 seconds? they're not olympic runners💀

[@marksinclair2592]

During the off-season In HS my coach would make all the mid distance runners (800-1600) load up on miles before we started doing any speed work before track season started. Lots of long runs with hills, even swimming on certain days For laps. Once season started we would do 400 repeats, 800 treats, 500s, 300s etc. but we were conditioned enough to run intervals because of the offseason. We also didn’t neglect weight training either. Middle distance runners gotta have a strong base and a balance in my opinion!

[@michaelhawkes2330]

these are not 800 meter runners. And if they are, get them ouf the track and in the trails just getting their areobic base up because the slipping in a short workout like this means they are not areobicly fit enough

[@SkullkraneEntertainment]

800m and dash in the same sentence is scary! Great job you guys. Keep it up!

[@sumap675]

I'm an 800m runner I always run slow at beginning and wait for the right time to gain over others

[@eman7183]

I’m a sprinter/pole vaulter and I’m thinking about changing from sprints over to the 800. All I know is that I can run a 39.16 300m indoors. Compared to my teammates I have the best acceleration but my top speed lets me down. But I can also hold my sprint for a long time and that allows me to beat people faster than me in the 300. I want to push myself and try the 800, it’s a lot different but I think with training I could be better.

[@FullRewardMinistries]

I'ma distance runner, so my best advice is aerobic development! Maybe you shouldn't run miles and miles and miles like a marathon runner but doing some stuff at like mile or 5k pace would help with the fatigue I think!

[@RodrigoSilva-yx8rn]

You don't need a stopwatch min 3:59!! That's why you have a coach so he can tell you what your times are each lap and stop worrying about your watch.... loosing seconds by looking down and not focusing on the main objective of the workout.

[@yousef9063]

Rashad I ran my first competitive 400m race yesterday and was 3 seconds of breaking 1 min I won it because at the start I stayed back in the first 25 to 50 m starting pacing more at 150 and at 200m I passed the other 3 dudes and it was a head on woth me and one guy and I could've passed him at the 250 mark but he had longer legs and I'm shorter so he would've caught up and gassed me so a stayed at a pace then at the last bend sprinted hard and got a 25m lead on him and won

Well I'd say from running the 400 and 200 and 800 here and there in high school. I'd say if you want to hit a 2:30 800m or even a 2:15 make that first lap about 1:10 or less

[@ViiRaLChaoticGamerTM23]

@@dongkimm4034 I'll be honest with you bro I ran the 400 and 200 in high school and I only ran the 800 2 times my senior year I was hitting a 2:09 and now in college i went the distance route and I'm doing steeplechase 5k and 10k my 800m is to a 2 flat so If i could do it from being a sprinter without 800m training you can too

[@reeceproctor9412]

Your 200m marks were way off, they were starting at the 400m start and not cutting in, the 400m start is on a three turn stagger. By starting and staying in the middle of the track their 200m mark is about 15 meters past where you called it at. This is basic track knowledge, I don’t think you’re necessarily in a place to coach adequately.

[@fidelbanuelos9601]

Agree. They hit that first 200 in 32-33 and not 29-30.

Yea I don’t think rashad is a good coach in my opinion...no hate. The guys that are running are also very average runners but that’s besides the point

You will not benefit from any training done within a week of race. All benefits from training happen from 12 to 3 weeks from race. 2 weeks out you taper down your workout and last week is rest and recover and light run to keep the body moving

Rashaad this is an excellent workout. As far as rest periods for the 300s, how long do you give them for those tempo type workouts? Active vs. passive recovery?

[@alwaystmoza]

Those 300m wasn't a tempo work out. They're were trying to get 2min 800m pace

[@alwaystmoza]

Did these two kids break 2min 800m? I know video old but looking at those 300s doubt they broke sub 2 that year.

[@DBZbilly1107]

They started at the 200 start to run a 300. They probably ran close to 310 meters that’s why the time was a little bit slow when they finished.
