What is a good 800 meter time?

Question

I'm 14 and I run the 400 and 800. My fastest time was a 2:08 in the 800m and in the 400 is a 54.1. I want to know how i compare in the world to other people. I hear that my time is really good, but i really don't to get cocky. So what's a good time.

Answer 1

that is a very good time for your age i'm 15 and before my season got cut short i ran a pr of 2:17...i'd say by next year if your under 2:02 you are a great runner and extremely talented if you get under 2 min

Answer 2

Those times are very good for your age. You're right that you shouldn't be cocky, but yes, you're better than many others at your level.

your 800m is a very good time for your age,

when i was 14 i was running 2:18, and 53.26..

but now im 16 and run only 50secs for the 400m..

you just got to find the right coach and stick to training hardout and u will soon be the best..
