54 Workout, 3 Phase, Adjustable 800m Training Plan
A 15 page PDF with 54 workouts, sample weeks, and full system, phase, and training overview.
Not your typical online training plan. Built for coaches and athletes ready to run a real 800m program, expand their event knowledge, or add proven sessions to their workout library.
The 800m rewards the perfect balance of strength and speed, which is what makes it one of the most demanding events in track and field. A lot of athletes shy away from real speed work out of fear of injury or fatigue. Speed is not optional here. It is the event.
The plan draws on a decade of coaching elite high school 800m runners, including the first two athletes in New Jersey history coached to sub 1:50 in the same year, and on years of pro racing under some of the best coaches in the sport. The goal is simple, bridge sports science and real world training so athletes at every level can move forward with a clear plan.
Structure, three progressive phases.
Base Phase, building a strong foundation across every training aspect.
Pre Competition Phase, shifting to heavy specific work to prep the body for racing.
Competition Phase, sharpening event specific workouts.
Each phase includes 18 workouts targeting every side of 800m performance.
Speed and Power Development, hills, track max velocity work, and 400m specific reps.
Aerobic and Strength, endurance base with small doses of race specific work.
Event Specific, 1500m down to 400m race specific sessions, hills, and track.
