Is 2:59 Good for an 800 meter???

Question

I am 13 years old. I am not a distance runner what so ever i am a sprinter. It's not official we just got timed in gym casually

Answer 1

At 13 years old?  Yes, under 3 minutes is a very respectable time.  Put it this way - I bet there were plenty of other people in your class who were MUCH slower than you.

Answer 2

yes, i am 12 and my time for the 800 last week was 2:58

but it still needs improvement

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

for a 13 year old it's good. Don't listen to those people who says that it's not because it is for a 13 year old

Answer 6

No, sorry, not at all. Aim for a 2:30, and work on lowering your time from there.

Answer 7

Truthfully it is not a good time until u have reached under 2:30 or 2:2o but keep working at it

Answer 8
