  • i got the sprint medley relay 800 leg (Essex county relay championships) this sunday

  • We are doing 2 of these and 2 quarters in my off-season in football

  • I got 800m next wednesday!!!

  • Technique is fine, but you need top conditioning with lots of anaerobic workouts because you WILL go into oxygen debt at about 600 meters and that last half lap is all technique and discipline holding form.

  • Also, the 800 is a bit of a mindfuck. You might be relaxed and go through in 55-56 for the first 400 and finish the 2nd lap in what u believe is the same pace but probably 10 seconds slower :P.. AN IMPORTANT TIP is it to stay relaxed enough to runa comfortable first lap (the work should kick in at about 300) and then trusting your body to use all of it's energy to kick the last lap like a 400 race. ( you will still probably positive split) but if trained right, u will mostt likely pb.

  • im 7th grade and i run 2:12...

  • @zzysomanyxszz thats pretty good

  • @zzysomanyxszz if thats true, then your pretty fucking good. hopefully u can get under 2 minutes in highschool

  • MONDAY MY SPORTS DAY HOPE I WIN!!!

  • doing this on my P.E day im ready

  • i clicked on this video because I was interested in how to run an 800 more along the lines of race strategy. I've never ran one before, but I'm fairly certain all of his advice in this video would be applicable for any distance 200-800, and the only difference for the 1500 is that you would use your heels a little bit. Anyone who has ever been coached in track should know to stay relaxed and to assume the proper body position. This video lacks any useful tips for the 800.

  • i ran a 2:01.06 as a sophmore

  • @topchick55 I am in middle school.

  • @apurv3 im pretty sure hes in middle school cuz i wouldve broken that record sophmore year haha

  • Tomorrow I have to do this. Im a girl, and im 12 and im SUPER SCARED o.o

  • I'm 14 and I run this race in 2:18, i need to run 2:16 to break our schools record, any suggestions on how I could cut this time?

  • @SeanJordan15 LMFAO, what school do u go to? my schools record is 1:53.92 and i run 1:58 atm

  • @ThattKiddMike lol where do you live because our school record is a 2:20 @SeanJordan15 are you in middle school or high school because this is my freshman year and im running like the same thing

  • @SeanJordan15 yea you can break way more than that if you go out your first lap faster than your second lap but you have to be determine your mind set has to be strong though

  • wow, and expert village video which is not a complete waste of time

  • 13 thats super good

  • @1cuachillo1 really?

  • can anyone tell me if a 2:37 on a 800m is good?

  • @wc5killer depends on your age

  • @michaeltodd13 im 13, is that good?

  • @wc5killer i did about 2.25 when i was 13. do you train a lot or not

  • @michaeltodd13 im starting to train alot now, i didnt really use to before

  • I won for the first time 2:34 I know not that good for an 8th grader but im not lying like most of you

  • I run 1:58 in freshman year and 1:52 as a sophomore. want to be 1:41:00 by the end of high school! I also eat 12,000 calories a day and only train by doing push ups. it works for me!

  • @sueyking 1:41 is the world record

  • @sueyking liar

  • if all these kids are apparently so amazing at 800, why are they watching 800 meter help videos? pussies.

  • @WizPreeFresh Maybe they want to get better dude

  • I'm 13 and run a 2:16 but haven't done a 1500 for ages but my target is 4:35-4:40

  • doesnt matter where you are, 800 meters runs you.

  • 1:55 is my time tryna get 1:52

  • Middle school, 800 meter in 2:24

  • lol guys im not gonna lie to you...my time is 2:30 xD c'mon guys, there is NO WAY you all can run a 1:50 800m xD

  • @ItSnowsInTheSummer

    I agree with you. I think these people are just posting fast times because it makes them feel good and no one can disprove them! I ran track and XC my Freshman and Sophmore year of HS 2:12 for the 800M 5:16 for the 1600M and 19:18 for the 5K. I'm a freshman in college at UCF now and to this day I wish I didn't quit.

  • I'm a freshman.. i get 2:04 on the 800m and 4:40 on the mile..

  • how about when we bragg about our times we post a link to where we can check our legit times through a sanctioned website like milesplit

  • @d3v0n2534 I totally agree

  • Sophomore in High School: 5:00.80 in the 1600m, and 2:08 in the 800m.

  • i like to run

  • I can do 1200 m in the olympics fine

  • first season of track freshman year 2:21 800 5:18 1600

  • 6:45 That's my best 800 time

  • @joesmith8789 thats terrible,i beat that nd im 13

  • @seany3724 haha thanks. You make me feel so great about myself!

  • train hard, race easy. 

  • guys is 3:05 good for a 7th grader??

  • @wc5killer it is okay.

  • @wc5killer i dont think so bro im a 8th grader and run a 2:18

  • @TheFreedomfood damn thats good, i ran 2:23 in 8th grade and 5:27 mile, 66 400m now im a junior

  • @wc5killer it depends on the competitivness of your track and field team and if your a girl or boy, by the time your in high school if you want to be by the 2:30 mark if you want to fun it in invitationals and possibly go to regionals or if your lucky state. if your on a good team and stick with it you will be better in no time :)

  • I ran 800 meters and its is tiring a tip is to first get in the lead at the begging and go at a constant speed pace try not to sprint and let anyone go ahead of you. Once you get to 400 meter this gets more painful but do not sprint keep jogging at a constant speed if you need to slow down then slow down but you must go faster afterward. In the last 200 meters sprint! just sprint! go as fast as you can simple.

  • i got to run the 400 800 and the 1600 meter relay and high jump im nervous as fuck

  • @williams666ify relays are the best!!! :D

  • I have to run a 800 meter relay on Monday at my track meet and I'm super scared!! :'/

  • Congrats 202... you suck

  • i could run an 800 while you were watching this video

  • Lol day before athletics: 3-45. Day after :3-00 flat (7th grade

  • thanks! :)

    i like best running 800m

    since i dont run so fast at 100m xD

  • I don't know why I read the comments of all of these videos. It's just a huge circle-jerk.

  • @ZdudeXC I know that, it was a joke.. thats why i choose 1:40.

  • @ZdudeXC I know that, it was a joke.. thats why i choose 1:41.

  • Hi, I'm Les whitley. I'd like to talk to you about how stupid I am and I know nothing about the 800m and I only run a 3 minute 800!

  • I ran 2:12 as a freshman, and im a sophomore now! Sorta... Im from Canada so 2:12 as a midget and im a junior now... I prefer the american version, I mean, who wants to be called a midget boy? I mean, come on! But if I ran the 800 now, I'd get a 1:20... HAHA just kidding, I'd get 1:41.. Thats right I can get the world record!! Jk, no, I'd probably get 2:05 now! There that is serious right there

  • hunted9185 and T34mki11, you are idiots. If you post outrageous times and ask if they're good, it's really easy to tell you're lying.

  • Comment removed

  • Im an 8th grader and I ran a 140.0 in the 800m! Is that any good?

  • @hunted9185 I get thats its a joke, but not that funny. Dont leave stupid jokes on pages, and if you are leaving a joke, make sure its funny

  • @mmmmkBKLY Idk maybe i want to leave stupid jokes, and it didn't look like you knew it was a joke from your first post.

  • @mmmmkBKLY @mmmmkBKLY Idk maybe i want to leave stupid jokes, and it didn't look like you knew it was a joke from your first post, so maybe you should just chill.. its just a youtube video.

  • I'm an eighth grader and I ran a 1.51. is that good?

  • @T34mki11 thats incredible i run like a 2:10 how u do it

  • He's not even standing on a real track...

  • Ha well last year i ran a 2:21 thats not great but i threw shotput :) haha

  • Hey guys I'm a junior. My 800m best is 2:05 in our regional 4x800 relay. My best open is a 2:08. Is that good?

  • @luke0322 That is by no means bad. I'm not sure you could make it through state qualifiers with that open time, but If the rest of your relay team has times that low, you guys could go far.

  • he doesn't know anything

  • ive been jogging alot for just over a year now after i went through some traumatic moments in my life. i started at 298 lbs and now weigh 235. i think i hit plateau i havent lost any more weight. im a big guy 6'1 still pretty fat but ive outrun everyone ive ever jogged with in any track :). not trying to brag but just thought id share this. jogging is a great way to relieve stress and get your anger out.

  • 8th grade 2:13 9th grade 2:08 10th grade now hoping to break 2:04 or even 2:00.... I do know a kid who's a sophomore Now and he ran a 1:56 800 as a freshman so ya lol

  • In soviet russia 800 meters run you.

  • @FormatxCwalk HAHAHA randomly funny hahaaa

  • @FormatxCwalk fail

  • I ran 800 meters in 12.32 seconds, really!

  • Yeah, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about, listen to me, I ran a 1:39.11 with a broken femur, so you should take my advice instead.

  • Yeah i'm currently in 7th grade and i have the school record in the 800... Right now my record is 52.7 seconds...

  • Comment removed

  • @marissa910 dude, 400 is not a mile. 400 is a quarter mile. it takes 1600 meters to make 1 mile.

  • @Zeltip1 my bad.

  • Hey, I ran a 2:01 in 9th grade. Really, as God is my witness.

  • @Lehmann108 Im the another 1 who witnessed your run 800mm

  • @ramon103t those are very achievable times you twat

  • My best time is 3:21

  • @w1880 LOL

  • @WorldPeace4All6 I honestly hope that you're joking.

  • i am going to be a sophmore in a few months,,,but my fastest 800 freshman year was a 2:38..ima girl btw. and i made a bet to beat my P.R sophmore year. i have to aim for a 2:35...how hard do u think that will be.?

  • @mistyashluv its harder for girls to improve as they get older :*( but im sure if you really go for it and train hard you can get it, good luck

  • Ok the start of the 800 makes a veryyyyyyyyyy minute difference.

  • @ramon103t

    thats not lying... ik plenty of people that ran 2:10 as a freshman, i know a guy that can run 1:52 as a junior, a 1:55 sophmore. peopple can do that.

  • @zzaacchhman10 we had a guy who as an 8th grader ran a 2:28-800 meter but then ran a 5:04 as his mile. he was insane. i broke the 800 record with a 2:24 but got a back injury and had to forfeit the rest of my season. i would've had the mile too. this guy was more of a cross country runner. he went 15:00 on a regular 5k course!!!!!

  • @FrancinoPisciella wow thats good, in 8th grade i ran 2:23 in the 800 but only 5:23 in the mile, but i was the age of a 7th grader :D

  • I really wish that I saw this video before I competed for the 800. I didnt do good at all...my time was like 2:59. Thats not so good. At least I am not lying, and not afraid to admit that...unlike others on here.

  • i just got done with my freshman year and my best 800 time was a 2:20. was it that hard to post your real time? besides im more of a cross country runner, today i got my pr of 18:17. not the best time ever but im proud of the work ive put into that 18:17

  • @quicklockerzinvitez1

    complete opposite of me, im guessing you have alot more mileage training, me on the other hand can go well under 2:20 but never gone under 20 in the 5k

  • Got away from what I was saying, but yah, the first 200 meters is a full on sprint, then you try and stride hard for the next 200. At the halfway point, you stride out even harder, try to lengthen, until you reach the last 200 meters, where you give it everything you have to finish out sprinting hard. I was normally a 2 mile runner, ran the 3200 relay just as an alternate from time to time. The only other race as difficult as the 800 is the 300 meter hurdles (or 400 hurdles for college +)

  • @ramon103t ::

    I ran a 2:10 as an 8th grader.. My homeboy 2:08 as a 7th grader! District Record.

    its very possible imposible so chill out.

  • Hey guys. Since I have self-esteem issues, I'm gonna say that I ran a 1:51 as a freshman in the 800 because I feel better about myself after lying to strangers on the internet.

  • @drone713 lol

  • @drone713 Yeah. I'm hitting 2:50 now but I still need a strategy anyone?

  • @drone713 lol haha that was funny but for real my dad said he knew a kid who ran a 1:54 as a freshman!! but he got in a bad car accident and ruined his knee :(

  • I'm year 8 and a new athlete with no training.... Is 3:10 a decent time?

  • @Jaffacakez13 yeah when i was in 7th grade starting i had like 3:05 and then i remember cutting it down by like 30 second with like a month of training but thats because i would stack up on bananas before racing but yeah thats pretty good but u will see people hitting 2:30 as there average so take my advice to motivate to finish ur race " IF YOU DIDT COME IN LAST YOU CAME IN FIRST "

  • Freshman, ran a 1:59.3, missed states by .4 seconds. Fml.

  • @zzaacchhman10 haha that blows dude, states where i'm from is 2:09

  • im 13 and i run it in 2:17 is that good

  • @demaster549 wow youre really good, Im 13 and I can run it in 2:37, by the way I have my race monday for the finals in the 3 cities for school.

  • hey expertvillage i think you really now what your talking about im gonna be a freshman in high school this coming up school year i really wanna be devoted to this 800m distance sprint which i ran in 8th grade 2:19 was my best and i was seeing if i paid you could you help me train for this correctly ? message me at jsmotokillerfreak@gmail.com thanks jesse

  • is 2:23 good for a freshman with no training at all? im not bragging i was just curious

  • I'm a Junior and I run a 1:59 struggling there is no way a junior higher runs a 1:54

  • @StevenLeblanc uhm look up Chris Fitzsimmons...was a junior in the school year of 2008-09, pr for the 800 was 1:51.96...he just broke 1:50 this year

    oh and 1:56 bitches

  • @StevenLeblanc I'd agree with you, but look up Mark McCauley from maine. He just won the New England Championships in 1:52.8 as a senior, but he ran low 1:53s as a junior. It's doable, just pretty rare. Obviously there are Juniors who are faster than 1:53, but I'm just drawing from one example. 1:59 as a Junior is still quite strong.

  • @ramon103t 1:54 is fast for a soph but its not impossible ive seen a few run close to that

  • im in 8th and ran a 800m and beat districts qualifying time by 10 secs,, which i ran the 800m in 2:30 unlike some kids my age who say they can run in

  • 2:03...

  • @ramon103t , i agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They should give names and the name of the meet so we can have proof!

  • @87PowerMan

    matias kraglievich 1 58: 800m BA argentina

  • i'm a junior in high school i ran this shit in a minute and two seconds

  • @julianswers K, go alert the media and tell them u did that. then they will want proof and watch u fail ur fat ass with a 3:02 seconds.

    Nice try bud.

  • 2:13?

  • to be honest i run a 2:01 as a sophomore in high school..

    going to regionals babayyy

  • @OPTIIC14 good for you

  • @ramon103t there are kids that could run around those time at those ages i saw some middle school kids run a 2:12 and there a track meet for freshmen and sophomores that could run 1:54 to 1:57 my coach was telling me about it i forgot the name of the meet tho lol but it's not impossible for kids to be running at those times.

  • @Jamesmill82 well i run a 2:17 and im in middle school too

  • i ran the 800m in 5:38 i know im good eh

  • im only in 8th grade and my 800 time is 2:47 is that good PLEASE REPLY and tell me yours *** this messgae is to anyone***

  • I ran a 2:18 as a sophomore.... just thought i'd help contribute to posting real times instead of bullshit ones

  • i am 11 years old and i have never run a 800m race and i ran1600m in 6:30 last year and i was wondering what a good time is

  • @sandi6612 if its real thats a good time... especially for an 11 year old??? but i know it is possible bc one kid thats in gr. 4 runs like that so idk but it is a good time

  • i ave never run a 800m and i am 11 years old and i ran a mile in 6:30 and i was wondering what a good time would be

  • thanks this is so true guys

  • @ramon103t

    Lol

    True

    2:10 As A Freshman

    Sophmore 2:08

    I Didn't Really Show Up To Practice All Year.

    But I Am Changing That.

    By Senior Year I Want Under 1:52.

  • I ran a 2:22, just thought i'd be the one to not BS any times.

  • @RickReinster  Thank You!

  • i got 2:41 n i'm 13 years old,is tat gd?

  • @ramon103t 154 as a sophmore... lmfao

  • @ramon103t i have a video of last year when i was in 8th grade ran a 2:07 finished the season with a 2:02

  • why do people go on these track vids and lie about their times? running times under 2 minutes is nationals status for a high school 800 and i know all these dudes dont run under 2

  • @xiPEARSONx

    No, running under 2 minutes isn't even All State in most states, much less all american. You have to run damn near a 1:50 in order to even think about running at nationals, and even faster to place there.

  • And i also saw an 8th grader run a 5:01 mile today.

  • @Zezcez thats good i ran 5:00 in 8th grade last year

  • @ramon103t i know somebody running a 2:10 800 as an 8th grader

  • @Zezcez i have a video of me last year when i was in 8th grade ran a 2:07 finished the season with a 2:02

  • Maybe I'll keep these tips in mind when I become a district CHAMPION with an 800 time of 0:56 xD jk I run it in like 2:45 lol I'm in eighth grade and slow as fuck but I was serious about running against my 3-AAA district wish me luck ;)

  • @matman841996 good luck. ull get better. i was garbage in 8th grade. but just try ur hardest in practice and ull be good

  • @ramon103t my friends 400 is a 61 and he is a 8th grader so the 210 aint impossible

  • this is so obvious

  • I'm able to run the 800 in 1 minute! 25 seconds the first lap and 35 seconds the second lol

  • @FlyingBlind10 no u cant so dont even lie

  • Crap

  • Im in 7th grade and i run an 800 at an average at about 1:15 last year i got 2:12 but my time wasnt consistant. Now its consistent and i got a 2:11 first jv track meet April 4th then im runnin prob the 2 mile relay with the varsity i dont know when that is.... Im not lying here i do run a 2:11....Wish Me Luck

  • @therussiannerd hahahhaha quit playing with urself dude

  • calm down usain bolt ..

  • Yeah all this stuff about lieing about there times is so much BS if you can do it why don't you post a video and prove us all wrong. I ran a 4:45 mile as a freshman... don't believe me? Check my profile, also if your going to brag always have some type of support and quit lieing!!!
