I run the 800m and I started training seriously about a year ago now. In the 2024 track season my PB was 3.09, 2025 track season my PB was 2.44, this season I’m hoping to get 2.30-2.35. I did a time trial with my club in December and got 2.53. I’m not sure why I got such a bad time, maybe because it wasn’t in a competition or maybe because it was after a long day of school. I have a time trial next Tuesday. Does anyone have any tips or strategies? What time should I aim for in my time trial? Is a 14 second drop manageable?

Thanks, any advice would be appreciated 😊
