Need help! 800m!

[DaniellaC]

Been asked to do 800m in town sports(competition between all Blackpool's high schools)tomorrow but I've never done athletics before (apart from a practise at lunch today) was just hoping that maybe somebody had some tips or hints to help me get through it like stuff that i can do tonight to help me or stuff to do in the morning thanks in advance Danni x

bump :)

No idea. It involves running twice round the track as fast as you can - that's all I know :o

lol thanks

I don't think there's anything you can (or should) do at this late stage anyway. I guess warming up before the race like you would with any other sports.

Thanks :) i just thought maybe someone had some 'magic tips' if you get what i mean! (wishful thinking really!)

Just pace yourself and make sure you have enough energy to sprint for the last 200-100 metres (thats if your bothered about about winning that is, if not pace yourself all the way round lol.)

thanks ledodgy by pace yourself do you mean like just fast jog so i can make it all the way to the end and sprint the last bit?

Yeah thats right, you could even do a slow jog if you want lol.

thanks :) i'll try my best lol but i'll probably be walkin by the end :) thank you
