  • 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.
