Man this video is great, very inspiring for this years track season, my 800 last year as a highschool freshmen was 2:18 so if you can do a 1:57 that makes me think why can’t i right 😅 Great Video man saving this for when track season starts again 😊
Some shorter shorts will feel really good especially on workout days. Would also recommend getting a pair of flats for working out/tempting if you don’t have them. Keep working be mindful of how you feel keep pushing.
Yea I got actual running shorts now and it’s a lot better!😂 I have been looking to get a pair of flats. It’ll suck at first but will be worth it in the long run.
Wet inpressive drop but you do have to remember your 400 time was way better than your 800 last year so you clearly lacked stamina which you’ve built this year. Would’ve been good to see how much you’d also improved in the 400 to see how much your raw speed has improved. Clearly there’s be some improvement but how close to sub 50 could you go? Would be interesting to see
Yea I definitely agree! My fastest 400 now is 50.3 but that was from last season. I’m doing my first open 400 at sac state in a few weeks so i’ll see then!!
Currently I run a 2:04.38 dropped it from around 3:10 from a year and a half ago, I'm now a senior in high school I feel like my speed is easily there but I'm scared to come in too quick cause I'm not sure if my base is there even though I can rep 57-58s in practice
Hey my 800m right now as a freshman is 2:24 but my 400m is 1:07 and my one mile is 5:20. Any advice or workouts for how you increased your 400m so I can run a faster 800m so I can break 2:00?
Those are good times as a freshmen!! You have a lot of room to improve. dm me on instagram and I can help you get started!! it’s @runningjunkiesoffical
Hii I have a question I took stated taking track a bit serious this year, but my races are more on the 1500m,3000m and maybe soon to be the (800m/5000m), but my question is how can i do like really great in all these races especially from the 1500m upwards, My coach and I insisted for the next month's or so since I'll be running my next races in September is to increase my mileage per week (my highest is 41.2km), is that good enough to build a great aerobic base or do I need more, what' should I do?
Yes you definitely need to do more miles per week. Try to run 40-55 miles a week (64-88km). That will definitely build your aerobic base. Start to include some hard anaerobic workouts to get yourself ready for some fast 1500m races in September. You need to build your anaerobic system too. If you tell me your Pr’s for these events I can give you some workout examples that you can maybe do every week or biweekly.
@@RunningJunkies and by the way in September is cross country season, I live in south Africa so our cross country season later during the year, but my coach said we'll get into the more anaerobic workouts later , closer o the xc season, for now said i should work on my aerobic system and build up my miles/km
@@RunningJunkies and one more question when doing my daily runs, do i need to do them slow and easy all the way (let's say about an hour), or can they be a fast like moving pace(lets also say for an hour), will the benefits be different
No way you’re in high school man, you look old as hell 💀 insane progress though. Unbelievably impressive. With those 400 workouts at 67 average, you might want to switch to the 32 and 5k. I think you could probably run a 9:10 in the 32 or around that with a bit more focus on that event. Switching to shorter shorts might also make you run faster.
Yea I started running my sophomore year of college😭💀. I would like to run a fast 32 time like that but I also can run a 49-50 400m so it makes sense for me to use that for the 800-1500m. But I would love to be versatile and great at every event one day!!👍🏼
@@RunningJunkies 51 split so probably 53 and for the mile I haven’t raced in it yet but I have time trialed for 5:13 at practice. I know I could probably get sub 5 though.
@@bks_wrld Okay you can definitely break 2 minutes easily for the 800m. You have plenty of natural foot speed which is great! You just need to bring down your mile time. If you can bring your mile time down to 4:50 you can easily break 2 minutes for the 800m. My recent video shows my workout plan that brought me from a 5:40 mile to a 4:48 mile in just 2 months!! Go check it out.
I've been doing XC but my 400/800 are way better than my 1600/3200. I feel like i have a good shot at going low 2 minute in the 800 and 51-53 in the 400 but I haven't broken 11:30 in the 3200 🥴
Hey man, this is my first year doing track at 17. Im a senior and my main event is the 800m, and my PB is 2:05.55 . Do you have any tips on how I can improve my strength when it comes to the last lap of the race? Also your work and dedication is inspiring bro, I respect it and good job!
Wow that’s an amazing time for your first year! And there’s a few things I need to look at. What is your all out mile time right now?Do you feel like you’re in good shape? And lastly what’s your all out 400m time.
@@RunningJunkiesI feel like I'm in good shape, at least coming what I started from at the begining of the season. For the 400 my PR is 51 seconds and honestly, for the mile I'm not too sure. Last November 2023 I ran a 5:25 for soccer tryouts, but as of right now it's anyone's guess
@@gonedisonance Okay so you’re a naturally fast sprinter. 51 seconds for a 400 is very impressive! A 5:25 mile is very good too. What you need right now is to be in better aerobic shape. If you can bring your mile time down to the 4:40’s you’ll go run a 1:55. I showed my exact workout plan that I used in my recent video if you want to implement it for yourself. I went from a 5:40 mile to a 4:48 mile in 2 months! It’s very hard work but you can definitely do it if you’re serious.
600m TT times indicate there was another second in there. 400m speed is lacking. Thought I saw Shasta College in there, and I know I saw Butte. Cal State East Bay?
get some threshold work in and youll be filthy in the 800, you have the speed but you fall apart towards the end bc you dont have a stong enough aerobic base
Hey, I'm a freshman. Right now my 1500 is 4:48 my 800 Is 2:22. I'm not sure but i'm not really too out of breath when i'm running and after the run but my legs just won't go faster or something. I haven't really hit puberty yet and all i'm not sure if that affects anything. I'm not sure if you know anything about cross country but whenever I'm racing and I get to a hill I will die for the rest of the race and be out of breath forever so i'm not sure how I can get faster. And do you think puberty will help me a bit?
Yes as your body develops it will definitely help. But you can still run fast and those times are still really amazing for a freshmen! If you do the right training and train year round then you will become a beast and would be ahead of your competition!!
My friend went 1:53 in the 800 but had trouble going sub 53, so you might be able to go sub two with even less speed granted you have good strength/endurance
@@Ethor-il4vhOh absolutely. My point was that, for 95% of guys with 53 second speed then sub 2 is just a matter of training. But 53 is not a prerequisite for sub 2. A friend of mine could only manage around 56/57 but he dipped under 2.00. He had that lean body type. Another friend could convert 53 speed to 1.53 800 times.
sorry, but thats not out of shape at all lol. those are just average times. Im REALLY out of shape.. 3:41 800m, 1:27 400m, I cant even run 1.5 miles at a 13:30 mile pace
Yea I know I have been used to everyone being faster than me so it makes me seem much slower and out of shape, Your times aren’t to bad and you can definitely bring those times down in no time. Keep running!!
@@RunningJunkies Well, im trying to, and have been making great progress but yesterday at the end of my run I started feeling a weird sharp pain in my left calf, thought nothing of it and kept running through it, throughout the day it got worse and sleep didn't help at all, since then its been hard to walk because of it and I certainly cant run... I'm gonna lose all my progress and I've only been running for 5 weeks..
@@ClaymorePvP Yea for newer runners or if you haven’t ran in a while then bad calf pain is quite normal. I’ve dealt with it bad in the past and it’s not fun. But it’s only temporary. Just take it easy for a day or two then try to push through it.
All that speed work means nothing. Go do 6 months of pure base work. Then finalise with sections of speed work so you peak twice with base in between the 2 speed sections. I learnt this the hard way. Guys id go up against were doing 100 to 130k feb march aprils before winter cross country season. Which led them to be aerobic beasts in the 800 and 1500 on the track in the summer. I never did enough base work so i tapered off and didnt do as well in multiple heat and final situations. At the final id always be cooked. On single races i did better. keep it up. Learn from my mistakes. FYI i was a state top 3 800 m runner and national top 5 800 and 1500 runner ages 11 to 16. One of my hardest sessions back then was 20 x 400 with 1 min break at 72s if i remember. Used to do so many 15 x 200 and 20 x 200 with jog next 200 in 28s to 32s back then as well. Also in the 1500 and 800 i learnt too late to always go out slower and sit 3rd way back in the pack. Wish i knew that looking back when i was younger. Funny how your pbs were very similar to mine 4.15 1500m and 1.57 800 m. The crux was when i was 15 i stagnated due to lack of base work. Guys got down to 1.50 to 1.52 range and i stayed stagnent. age 14 and 15 and 16 the big 3-5 second jumps occured in the boys times for both 800m and 1500m.
Damn good work man! This video was actually really motivational, really surprised it doesn’t have more views, the TH-cam algorithm is wack sometimes

What happened bro
I’d love to see your whole workout routine and how it changes throughout the year
Yea i’m thinking about moving in a van for 5-6 weeks at altitude and recording it all. I feel like that will be a good series!!
Some shorter shorts will feel really good especially on workout days. Would also recommend getting a pair of flats for working out/tempting if you don’t have them. Keep working be mindful of how you feel keep pushing.

run sub 30 per 200
