200m and 800m training?
Ok, so I have sports day on the 5th July this year and I am not sure whether to do 200m or 800m. I'm not that good at running but I am one of the best in the year. Our school track is rubbish because it's on grass and is just 200m. How will this affect my time? This year I got 3.09 on 800m on the school track and 32.42 for 200m on the school track. For 200m I want to get under 30s and for 800m I want to get under 3 minutes, all in time for sports day. Any tips on how to train and stuff? I would like to train a maximum of 5 days a week ... Thanks!

Do lots of 150m, 200m, 300m sets, then you 200m and 800m times will improve.
Say 8x each with intervals of about your running time as a rule of thumb.................not all at once concentrate on one each day and take 2/3 days off before event. Good luck and your targets are realistic.
