SPR 13 Jul 4:55pm, 13 Jul 2025 48,347 posts	Quote Pin SPR Garmin pace graph shows the pace increase to make the move. Also shows I overdid the relaxing bit. I'll probably forget all this if the next 800 I do is next year, lol.
LBAC Si 14 Jul 3:02pm, 14 Jul 2025 361 posts	Quote Pin LBAC Si @SPR Decent race! I do like an 800, shame I was late for the last one I was supposed to do. Did 5 x (4 x 200) on Thursday in the heat. 30 secs recovery, 60 secs between the 5 sets. 35's then 34's for the 2nd half. Good news @Gobi
LBAC Si 14 Jul 3:05pm, 14 Jul 2025 362 posts	Quote Pin LBAC Si @J2R Sounds good, love looking forward and planning races/training etc.. @Blister Hope that niggle calms - good training. My achilles is still a bit narly, but not all the time.
SPR 14 Jul 3:44pm, 14 Jul 2025 48,377 posts	Quote Pin SPR Thanks @LBAC Si, I should do more 800s but they are tough. Your endurance must be in good nick to do that session.
LBAC Si 14 Jul 10:01pm, 14 Jul 2025 363 posts	Quote Pin LBAC Si Thats the issue - done more 3k's & 5k's this summer, 1500's been a bit lame, nothing sub 4.25. Some proper MD training might help tbh!
SPR 14 Jul 10:46pm, 14 Jul 2025 48,404 posts	Quote Pin SPR Speed is the hardest bit I think, that's why I'm jealous of those with fast 400/800 times, but that session surely says you're in sub 4:25 shape? Our Thursday session this week is 2 x (4 x 200 @ 8 pace, 90 sec rec) 5 mins rec. Sure you'd get down to good speeds on that. Tomorrow is 2 x (3 x 500 @ 15 pace, 90 secs) 5 mins rec. With your endurance, I reckon you'd handle that pretty well. Don't know whether I'll do both sessions this week but it would be nice to be able to.
