and for marathons if you do enough of them (apparently)) My thoughts:6 x 800m = 4.8km, so you should be able to complete this session at close to 3km pace. If I was trying to improve at distances under 10km that sounds like a good session to me.If you're training

I am currently using the 12 week sub 20 half marathon training schedule and am flummoxed with some of the training schedule.For example: In the speedwork - it says: 4 x 800m,400m jog (6m total). Now maybe I am being stupid but what does it mean

this theory. thanks for any advice. Well...I have a solution for you! Well maybe anyway I do a 4 week rolling program of24 x 200m12 x 400m6 x 800m3 x 1m The mile reps and the 800ms work on the half/mara time but the shorter reps give you speed of an even

your LT / VO2 max fitness (you'll be needing this), have got the 1500m session recoveries down to 60 - 70 seconds or so and can comfortably manage 8 * 150m @ 800m pace w / 250m recovery you'll be in a good position for some harder, more specific work

predicted your time, but really it'll be everything that you did.  You wouldn't train on only 800m intervals for a HM - if you did I can guarantee it wouldn't predict your time.  Once your conversion is good over all endurance distances then any session

. FIRST:  Erm....you could do them on a track in spikes if you think that would be easier.  Would you like to try the 800m intervals instead?Mo:  Looks like I'd better.Mr. FIRST:  We're after 7 * 800m @ 10k - 45 to 50 seconds which for you is an 800m

do like Yassos because they're simple but hard, if you see what I mean. I ran an 800m race in 2.21 and could churn out a load of them at sub 3 mins. That was off 25 miles quality training per week.Could I run a marathon in anything less that 3 hours

As an 800m track runner who has just completed the marathon (crazy I know!) can anyone advise me on how I should tackle training sessions for the next few months (bearing in mind I haven't done speedwork for about 2months). According to some authors

have found that 10x800 in 3:15 each with 2m rest doesn't guarantee a 3:15 marathon. It may help, but there's no magic formulaic link. In fact you probably need to be doing them a bit quicker to be of significant use. (3:05 800m for 3:15 mara).However, I
