A 2:37 isn’t bad. How old are you? If you can run 5 miles a day, then I think you have more than enough stamina for the 800. You should work on speed, and probably your form. When you’re running, what’s your arm action like? If you’re crossing over your body a lot, or not pumping your arms, then that will slow you down a lot. Something I’ve tried which seems to help is sprinting downhill without slowing yourself down. This gets your body used to longer strides and moving faster. Granted the 800 is more of a distance race than it is sprinting, improving you speed definitely wouldn’t hurt. ---

Didn’t do it. Ended up starting on Ultra’s since they looked more fun. Chi Running is a good book to learn a different style of running from track, etc. That ‘knee’s up’ goes and so do a lot of running injuries if you are prone to them. Says he developed the style from watching kids run naturally. Worked for me. Not sure about all the business and marketing that sprang up around it though.

I overpronate which makes running extra bad for my knees, so no. I’m more of a powerlifter and prefer working out. I really need to get back into a gym routine, weight lifting is so much fun. ---
