International journal of physical education, sports and health re-thinking 200 m repeats as a key workout for success in the 800 m run


Author(s): Dr. Brian M Hickey, CSCS D and TSAC FD

Abstract:
An effective 800 m training program blends three elements: 1) tactical, 2) technical, and 3) conditioning. Often times, coaches focus solely on the conditioning aspects of workouts, and neglect the tactical and technical domains. This article: 1) provides an overview of the bioenergetics of the 800 m run, 2) examines the flaws in 200 m repeat workouts which overemphasize conditioning at the expense of technical and tactical development, 3) proposes alternatives for 200 m repeat workouts which simultaneously develop all three elements, and 4) presents a sample training cycle for the 800 m run.
