Wen i run 800m how should i pace my laps because i want 2 win but do not want 2 wear myself out,gender:boy,14?

Question

im 14 who needs tips on competetive running

Answer 1

800 is a difficult race... i learned that from doing it many times. Its not excactly long distance and unfortunatly it a full out sprint basically but the 800 test your ability on how long you can hold that sprint. so just run like h**l kid

Answer 2

Well, if you're going to win, you will wear yourself out. :-)

But at the end, not in the middle.  A name for what the other person answered is "negative splits".  Run the second 400m faster than the first 400m.

400m - fast pace, not out of breath.

200m - pick it up a notch.

100m - pick it up again

100m - turn and burn

This also depends on how much of a kick you have.  If it's less explosive, you may need to turn it up from farther out.  But you'll find that out with experience.

Congrats.  You picked a tough race.  Good for you.  I hope you do well.  If you're good at this, you have potential to be a fast miler.

Answer 3

friend of mine (boy) is exceptionally good at this.

make sure you breathe deeply as you run.

sprint start-jog-at400m begin to speed up, and for the last 200 sprint and over take :)

good luck x

Answer 4

I'm 14 to and I have won pretty much every 800 race. Tips just go at a hard pace then at the last 200 meters start sprinting then at the last 100 meters give it all you've got

Answer 5

If you are a quick sprinter, hang just beind the leader/leading pack, and make a break towards the end of the race to the line. This way you'l only use the energy you need to.

If you are not a quick sprinter the best way is to hit the front as soon as possible and ware out the opponents behind you by stretching the pace.

Good luck!
