I’m a 14 time all American I did the decathlon and I’ve ran every event in track and field from the 10,000 m to the shotput and polevault. I have multiple state championships and state records and I can say the 800 is the most difficult event. The only thing that comes close is the 600 indoors, that could be more difficult but it’s a coin toss
Hustle and bustle and wide lane curves drags a second or two. Train 26 sec 200m, then relax for a 57 second 400m then see if there's a sub 28 sec 200m to finish. That way you're less likely to be impeded. If you can't hit those numbers you're not gonna make elite standards by race strategy. Wind blocking is minimal compared to the hassles of field baulking, bullying and outer laning or imaginary pace setting advantages.
I'd say a 500m race, though rarely run is the most painful race. Here's the reasoning. Anaerobic running maxes out at about 45 seconds. For most teenagers this hits them at the 300m mark. Lactic Acid starts to accumulate but the line is so close they attempt to power on. For elite athletes they're at 400m at this time and have about 100m to tough it out. Longer races run further below the max effort threshold and rely more upon pacing and ability. Endorphins kick in during longer races and numb the pain of 1 minute length trials. That said, seen some severe pain from Decathletes racing 1500m after 2 days of competition.
I’d agree 500m sounds mad tough. I’ve never run a 500m, but I’ve run a 600m a couple of times and in some ways it can hurt just as much as an 800m if you run it right. You’re right at that midpoint between aerobic and anaerobic. Maybe I’ll have to try a 500m sometime 😉
@@skohayward5 Jesse, the biggest pain I've witnessed was when I did a session of 8 x 150 meter uphill sprints (grade about 5%) with Peter Winter and Brendon Tennant, both 8k+ decathletes from Melbourne Australia. I was about 7k level with less pure speed but better endurance. I won every sprint, albeit by inches, due to us being mega competitive. The pain doing uphills of this distance tends to kick in after the sprint for some reason. After completion, we walked about 300 yards toward our gym and both of them, within seconds started getting massive cramps in their hammies, quads and glutes and despite my discomfort I was trying to straighten out both of their legs and pushing back their toes. They were almost ready to jump in a bodybag the pain was so intense. It lasted about 10 minutes until they could stand and gingerly walk. I don't recommend replicating this drill unless you're a severe masochist. I still remember the terror in their eyes as their bodies attacked them.
@@skohayward5 Jesse, if you follow my advice for a year, I believe you'll run sub 1.45 in 12 months indoors. My idea is based on neuromuscular adaptation, which means learning to run a little faster with less effort. Worth a try I'd say. Most coaches are lunatics. I've trained world class shot putters, triathletes and pool players. You've nothing to lose.

@@colincolensodon’t know what my future holds for racing but keep dropping some wisdom in the comments, I love to hear it!
@@colincolenso tell us more im intrigued
what spikes do you use?
Under Armour Shakedown Elite Breeze! They are definitely not as mainstream as the Nike’s but they punch well above their weight.
Your slow fr (I'm delusional)
Valid (800m is hard 😭)
