Try to run germanish intervall. Run 200meters in the average speed you want in your 800meter, jogging 100meyer after each run. Thats how i trained, and when i was 12 i ran 2:30, when i was 13 i ran 2:11.

By: Roshibear. on 02 Nov 08, 18:20:25
In other words a sprint is any race where one runs as fast as they're capable the whole way, even if that means breaking up the race into discrete segments and coming up with a strategy to achieve the fastest result. And running begins once one alters their strategy in relationship to the strategy of the other runners, attempting to tactically out maneuver them, e.g. out kicking them or wearing them down to mitigate their kick. It seems to me that the demarcation between the two is the 800m.

I am not saying ...
By: Roshibear. on 02 Nov 08, 18:08:31
I am not saying that the 800m isn't run nearly as fast as a sprint, I am arguing that the conceptual difference concerns the point where tactics come into play. And there are no tactics in a 400m sprint. There is a strategy in how to run it fastest (concerning 100m splits), but there is no concern regarding the other runner's strategy. One simply tries to run the 400m as fast as they can regardless of how fast anyone else is running it.

By: HaileHailu. on 02 Nov 08, 17:57:30
Thats obvious but what I meant was in terms of speed the 800 is like a sprint. Wilson Kipketers first 400 was 48.10. How many people do you know who can run even a quarter of that; the 100m, at the same speed? Bottom line is yes they are not sprinting but if you look at their speed you will see that barely anyone can even run a very short distance at the same pace that they did for the 800m. Also, tactics are a factor in sprinting; have you ever watched a 400m race before?

By: Roshibear. on 02 Nov 08, 17:09:38
Are you appealing to empiricism? Well then instead of being flippantly curt why don't show how that argument rebuts my criteria that sprinting stops and running begins when tactics become a factor in the race.

By: HawaiianBear. on 27 Oct 08, 05:43:47
train your butt off and do the gamut of exercise types. Do lots of long distance to build up lung capacity and sprinkle that in with some sprint work to tune up your explosive muscles. Try to do some sprints under duress, so that you're going full speed out of breath, to simulate what you'll be feeling for the last 200 meters of the race.

By: Roshibear. on 01 Sep 08, 04:58:09
That announcer pissed me off. The 800 isn't an "extended sprint". One doesn't use sprint and tactics in the same breath. All sprints are races run independently of what your competitors are doing. Their might be strategies involved in say the 400 meter sprint, but this concerns only how one can run their own fastest race. When you start thinking about tactics and therefore what other runners are doing, you are no longer sprinting.

I don't get what ...
By: mizofan. on 18 Nov 08, 20:02:56
I don't get what the arguments are about. Ovett ran a better tactical race and won comfortably enough. Coe was seething but made up for it in the 1500. They were both superb athletes, Coe had a slight edge in overall achievement, whereas i preferred Ovett (and his waves to the crowd when winning). Anyway their rivalry made for great entertainment and records, and Britain could certainly do with a middle distance runner of the calibre of either.

By: wybuller. on 09 Nov 08, 22:51:51
I don't dispute that Coe ran further. I simply say that it doesn't matter. Unless one is obsessed with armchair stats.

By: wybuller. on 09 Nov 08, 22:50:20
I can't be bothered with this any more. The point that you fail, or are unwilling to grasp, is that none of this matters. Ovett won, Coe lost. Deal with it. Whether or not it's on the inside or outside of the lane, Coe is running in lane one off the final bend. It is therefore simply false to say he ran the entire bend in lane 2. Otherwise, I ran on many athletic tracks, including Crystal Palace. My own relative inability over 1500m only contributed to the awe in which I held Coe and Ovett.

I have discussed ...
By: deano27671. on 09 Nov 08, 22:40:46
I have discussed this issue with various statisticians over the years, including Mel Watman (who was there in the stadium!) and Peter Matthews. I think I would prefer to be in agreement with them and follow what my eyes tell me than succumb to the will of someone who won't even acknowledge that Coe ran wider than Ovett for the entire last (2) bends, as even the commentator goes on to state after the race!

The headshot 200m ...
By: deano27671. on 09 Nov 08, 22:35:51
The headshot 200m out goes into the beginning of the bend and thus does have relevance. As the camera angle cuts, Ovett is clearly on the inside of lane 1 behind Kirov while Coe is never inside the line dividing 1 & 2. You clearly have no understanding of the layout of an athletic track and are either in need of a visit to the opticians or are suffering from delusions.

Coe is clearly in ...
By: wybuller. on 09 Nov 08, 22:21:54
Coe is clearly in lane 1 coming off the bend, not in lane 2, so what you're saying is simply not accurate (quite apart from being splendidly irrelevant). The head-on shot down the back straight apparently shows Coe in lane 3 (and Ovett in lane 2 for much of it). But it being a straight, I'm suspect your trundle would discern no difference in distance...

If you are a 200m ...
By: deano27671. on 09 Nov 08, 22:09:38
If you are a 200m runner in lane 2 and run as close to the inside lane as possible, you are still running 3.5m further than the guy inside you! Coe was running way outside that line for most of the bend, and then ran on the line as he entered the home straight. He wouldn't have run any further into lane 1 as he would only have to come out wide again to pass Guimaraes & Kirov! If anything 3.5m is a conservative estimate! Go & measure the difference on the stagger using a trundle wheel. It's 3.5m

I know the bit ...
By: deano27671. on 09 Nov 08, 21:58:20
I know the bit about Ovett running wide was a joke, hence the flippancy of my response about 20cm! As far as the other issue goes, you must have an eyesight problem! Coe is clearly running wider than anyone in the headshot 200m out (more like lane 3 than 2 even). He then runs outside 2 athletes as the camera cuts to a side shot of the bend (Marajo & Warren). He then runs outside Wagenknecht, staying wide and entering the straight running practically on the line between lanes 1 & 2!

The business about ...
By: wybuller. on 09 Nov 08, 20:46:54
The business about Ovett running further in the 1500 was intended as a joke. As I've already said, I don't see the relevance of these stats. Had Coe run the last lap in lane 8 and still recorded 50.5, so what? He'd have lost. If we must talk about stats, then, yes, Coe ran part of the final bend wide to overtake two athletes side by side. He then moved inwards. The images clearly show that coming off the final bend, he's in lane 1. So your figure of 3.5m is spurious, as well as irrelevant.

Of course its not ...
By: deano27671. on 09 Nov 08, 16:24:52
Of course its not Ovett's fault that Coe ran like an idiot and Ovett ran the best race on the day. He was the champion and had a psychological advantage over Coe, but that doesn't mean he was unbeatable over 800m on that day. As for Ovett running further than Coe in the 1500m final. LOL!, I think it was more like 20cm than 2.7234cm, but even if that is taken into consideration, Coe still ran the last 400m, 200m & 100m faster than Ovett, and was going away all down the home straight!

So, just to make ...
By: deano27671. on 09 Nov 08, 16:20:46
So, just to make things crystal clear, Coe ran the last 200m 0.1 sec faster than Ovett, despite running at least the 3.5m stagger differential further; thats worth about 24.5/24.6 had he been able to run on the inside like Ovett! So he closed marginally "officially" by 0.1. But what your eyes see doesn't show the whole picture. He was running the equivalent of 0.5 secs faster than Ovett over the last 200m.

Lol! If you want to ...
By: deano27671. on 09 Nov 08, 16:11:18
Lol! If you want to dumb down to layman's terms thats fine! I can spell it out to you! Yes, both Coe & Ovett "officially" ran the last lap in 50.5. By the 200m out mark Coe was further down on Ovett by 0.1 secs. Thus Ovett, running the last bend on the inside curb before taking Kirov on the straight, covered the last 200m in 25.1. Coe, running most of the last bend in lane 2 or 3, covering c 4m more than Ovett, ran the last 200m in 25.0, closing on Ovett by 0.1 in the final straight!

And incidentally, ...
By: wybuller. on 08 Nov 08, 03:35:06
And incidentally, according to your very own stats (Coe and Ovett both ran the same time for the last lap), by definition Coe did not close on Ovett in the 800. In the 1500, it was different. It was Coe's day and he went away from Ovett with that amazing last 200m. Even if Ovett, on Coe's shoulder round the bend, probably ran 2.7234cm further than Coe.

I said that Ovett ...
By: wybuller. on 08 Nov 08, 03:24:25
I said that Ovett was unbeatable on the day in that race, in my opinion. Psychologically as well as physically. Coe ran wide because he didn't want to get bumped, but above all because he was never in the race psychologically. Who cares how far he ran? It wasn't the Olympic 807m final. It was the 800m. And over that distance, Coe lost and Ovett won. Simple as that.

If running wide in ...
By: deano27671. on 07 Nov 08, 23:35:41
If running wide in lane 2 or 3 doesn't matter, then they wouldn't have staggered starts in the 200m & 400m! Everyone would start on a straight line. The reason they use staggers is that lane 2 is 3.5m further round the bend than lane 1. OK, Coe covered the last lap in 50.5, but in that lap he ran c. 407m, which means he covered the last 400m in c 49.6. Ovett covered c 401m in the last lap, meaning he ran the last 400m in 50.4. It doesn't take a genius to conclude the significance of those stats.

Lol! Ovett ...
By: deano27671. on 07 Nov 08, 23:24:19
Lol! Ovett unbeatable over 800m!? He didn't have the leg speed! He was some 2 secs slower than Coe at his best and the only way he was going to beat Coe at this distance was if Coe ran the race that he did; i.e give Ovett a head start. You can choose to ignore the fact that Coe ran wide the entire race if it makes you feel better, but anyone with eyes can see that Coe was closing on Ovett in the 800m and ran away from him in the 1500m.

Deano, the point is ...
By: wybuller. on 07 Nov 08, 03:27:35
Deano, the point is that he didn't run a sub-50 lap. As you say yourself, he ran 50.5, just the same as Ovett. This lane 2 stuff is a red herring. A runner can choose to run the whole race in lane 8 if he wishes, at Michael Johnson pace, and stop off for a cup of tea on the way. Super impressive. Except he ain't going to win the race. I think Ovett had it right psychologically, was physically very strong and was pretty much unbeatable on the day. Just as Coe was unbeatable on the day at 1500m.

I admire Ovett ...
By: deano27671. on 05 Nov 08, 19:42:15
I admire Ovett greatly & it would have been unjust had he retired without being Olympic champion! Of course the name of the game is winning, & Ovett won fair and square. However, the facts are that Coe ran much further than necessary & was the fastest over the last 400; indeed he even closed by 0.1 in the last 100. My earlier comments were in response to someone who said Ovett "outclassed" Coe. I was highlighting how misleading this was. No one else has ever run a sub 50 2nd lap in a 1:45 race!

I appreciate the ...
By: wybuller. on 05 Nov 08, 01:58:51
I appreciate the depth of your knowledge, deano, and your insight. But i think you take away from Steve Ovett's achievement. If coe wants to run in lane 2, that's his problem. The split times don't matter. The bottom line is who crosses the line first. Ovett was in trouble after 300m, but his last lap, from about 330m out when he surged through the gap, was impeccable. Even if Coe had been on his shoulder from 150m out, it's by no means certain that he would have overtaken Ovett on the day.

Basically some of the western countries that supported the Jimmy Carter boycott but still allowed their athletes to go to Moscow were represented by the Olympic flag and anthem rather than their own.

This is a fantastic performance, one that makes olympics legends. But if you look at the film carefully, you can see three major errors by Arzhanov. The first one is when he suddenly slows his pace(0:52), losing his rythm. The second one is when he fasten his pace in a very sudden way (1:40), wasting a lot of energy. The last one is when he, immediately befor the finish line, almost stops, allowing Wottle to win. This guy ran in a very variable pace, while Wottle was smooth, saving energy.

By: deano27671. on 13 Aug 08, 18:08:39
I'm not saying Coe would have beaten Cruz on the day, but it was actually a lot closer than it looked. Don't forget that Coe hadn't run between August 83 and Feb 84 at all; not even training; due to illness. He had to use the heats of the 800m and 1500m to be at a peak to defend his 1500m title in LA. Had the 800m been 2nd or a week or 2 later, Coe claims the result might have been slightly different. At his best Coe was definitely the best ever.

Coe should have won ...
By: deano27671. on 13 Aug 08, 18:04:56
Coe should have won in Moscow where he ran the 2nd lap (49.6) a second faster than Ovett,if you consider that he ran the entire lap in lane 2! He also ran further than Cruz in 84; watch the race closely & note how he ran in lane 2 for most of the curves. It's calculated that Coe ran c.807m in this race & Cruz about 803m. If they'd run exactly 800m Cruz's time would have been c.1:42.6 & Coe's c.1:42.7! Coe also knocked elbows with Jones entering the home straight, which made him check his stride.

How many times did ...
By: hauntboy. on 07 Nov 08, 23:42:47
How many times did Coe and Ovett race against each other? I can only recall 4 occasions - this race, the 2 in Moscow 1980, and one at the Olympics in 1984 where Ovett had to pull up with injury.

Coe went out too ...
By: deano27671. on 29 Sep 08, 18:49:12
Coe went out too fast. There is a law of diminishing returns, but had the first lap been 1 sec slower, then the end result may have been slightly different. At least he had a go. 3 years later Coe was able to use this experience of running first lap under 50 sec,..& on that occasion he was able to maintain the momentum & set a WR that would last almost 20 years! Ovett was probably at his peak here, & if it hadn't been for Beyer's surprising performance, would have been double European Champ.

Yes, Coe had broken ...
By: deano27671. on 29 Sep 08, 18:42:41
Yes, Coe had broken the British record just prior to the Europeans in '78 and he was one of the top 5 in the world by the end of the season, but nothing makes up for the experience of Championship running that Ovett had at his disposal. It still served him in good stead in Moscow 2 years later, when Coe, in my opinion, was probably remembering this race when lining up for the 800. It wasn't until the 1500 when Coe ran to his ability and exercised the ghost of Ovett!

To be fair, Coe had ...
By: deano27671. on 29 Sep 08, 18:38:20
To be fair, Coe had only run under 1:46 for the first time the previous Summer & at 21, this was his first major outdoor Champs. Ovett had won a European silver 4 years earlier in Rome & had run in the Montreal Olympic final 2 years earlier, not to mention victories in 2 Europa & 1 World Cup. So in comparison to Ovett, Coe was pretty much a novice in these sort of races. It should also be noted that Coe picked up a stomach bug when arriving in Prague and his weight had dropped to just 8 stone!

By: martynhanson. on 22 Aug 08, 18:49:17
Coe was not a novice. It is often stated that he was but he was one of the best 800m runners in the world then. Later on in the season he ended up the fastest for the year. Metcalf's commentary gives it away as he considers Coe a candidate for Gold as the race starts. The Coe's had a plan to run the first lap so fast as to blow Ovett away because, I suspect, they thought he couldn;t run fast at the distance.

Ovett wrote in his autobiography that he made a tactical error in 'waiting' behind Coe around the final bend. He wondered if Coe was trying to force him wide, when in fact he had nothing left. The fact that this was Ovett's 800m PB shows the kind of form he was in.

By: kerrigan2. on 18 Mar 08, 06:12:54

By: deano27671. on 28 Feb 08, 18:40:28
It's not that he didn't, but rather that he couldn't! You don't kick off a76 second time at 600m, after going through 400m in sub 50! It's all about who can slow down the least. All 3 of their last 200m would have been their slowest of the entire race. The 800m is not like the 1500m in that respect.

By: friendlee2007. on 27 May 08, 02:43:17
Rabbits get paid to drop out but most rabbits wouldn't be able to run that pace for the whole 800m thats why they are a rabbit, if they could then they wouldn't be a rabbit. Love this race though, you see Borzakovskiy come from dead last to potentially winning then this symmonds comes out from nowhere, LOL and then at the end he goes and hugs and high fives everyone. My favorite track and field athlete along with xiang. Upsetting at osaka though.

Nice run by Robinson especially leading the entire race...he is on a whole other level, guess he can do that...I wish Symmonds didn't run from the back like that though, all that kick would have made for a nice battle for 1st the last 75 to 100m...and it looks like, to me, Robinson is looking to see what time he ran...not being shady to Symmonds

By: Sunchild333. on 16 Nov 08, 09:08:11
She wasn't on drugs back then. She used them to improve her performances in 2007 when she had a bad season. But just so there won't be any wrong opinions...She's a good person and a competitor. She wouldn't use drugs on her own. Drugs were given to her by the guy responsible for what she eats. But that's what happens in every case actually. It's not like they're sitting in some dark corner sticking some needles into their bodys.

Steve Cram visibly moved to tears, Brendan Foster surely the same feeling, and Kelly? A state of shock. As if she didnt believe it was her. As if she thought: Hey, was it me? Indeed, she was an olympic champion. Thank you, Steve, thank you Kelly, for making me feel proud of the Dame who won 800 m in Athens ( and I am not British, to be added!)

What drugs help one ...
By: Roshibear. on 14 Sep 08, 23:47:43
What drugs help one run the 800 meter faster? While it's true that she's been banned because she tested positive for banned substances, it's not scientific at all that such substances improved her performance. EPO for example definitely improves performance in endurance events. There is less evidence that it is helpful in a race this short. Anabolic agents help only through an increased capacity for training and aren't directly responsible for improved performance.

Because she was on ...
By: LANNIE1994. on 06 Sep 08, 12:11:41

Her two events at Athens are amongst my favourite sporting moments ever. Pure heart and effort from a girl who had loads of setbacks during her career. And it all came together in two perfect races. She deserves every moment of fame and good fortune as long as she wants it. The Wonderful Dame Kelly Holmes. And i'm not even a fan of athletics. But she is so special and a makes me proud to come from the same country as her.
