	800 metres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The closest races to the 800 m are substantially different, with the 400 m being a sprint with almost nonstop speed, while the 1500 m (or 1600/mile) is a more tactical distance event.
		In modern 800 m races, runners start from staggered positions on the track and must remain in their respective lanes for the first 100 m of the race.
		800 m runners are often fast enough to run in the 4x400 m relay but only Alberto Juantorena and Jarmila Kratochvilova have won major international titles at 400 m and 800 m.

	800 metres Training
		800 metres race pace - to improve VO2 max and resistance to fatigue and train the body to operate at the required 800 metres pace- specific endurance sessions would involve maximum distances of 600 metres in a single repetition with 2 to 3 minute recovery
		If the athlete has a target personal best (TPB) of 110 seconds for the 800 metres then running at tpb+5% pace would require the athlete to complete the 800 metres in 115.79 seconds, (110 ÷ 0.95) so the 500 metres should be completed in 72.4 seconds (115.79 ÷ 800 × 500).
		It is possible to predict your 800 metres, 1500 metres, 3 km, 5 km, 10 km, ½ Marathon and Marathon times from your current 800 metres time using Frank Horwill's four second rule for male athletes and Frank Horwill's five second rule for female athletes.

	Crash of Flight TWA 800 Analysis: a Military Luminous Decoy Involved?
		If flight TWA 800 were really the object of a UFO staging operation using the technology we describe in this study, it could well be that the plasma ball came up too close to the air outlets of the tanks.
		To cause the explosion, the ball of plasma may have come into contact with kerosene vapour escaping from the air outlets of the tanks, or the resulting electromagnetic fields may have induced an electric current in the metal parts of the plane and caused a spark.
		Since the crash of flight TWA 800, two other similar dramas have occurred in the same area, which tends to show that it is a local problem that affects the aircraft.

	800 metres
		Kenyan men finished first and third at 800 metres in the 1993 World Championships in Stuttgart, and first and second at 800 metres in the '92 Olympics.
		I'll run the first 800 of each 1000 at slower than race pace and then finish the last 200 metres at actual race velocity, which helps me develop the ability to run at race pace when I'm tired.
		What the 400-metre runner may be lacking is the 'lactate tolerance' necessary to run the full 800 metres and enough speed endurance to maintain a high running velocity over twice his/her normal race distance.

		I have found no reports of Maria Mutola being drastically out of form this year over 800 Metres and am very surprised to see Evens being offered about Maria draping the 800 Metre Womens Olympic Gold around her neck.
		I suppose the biggest worry or doubt about Maria Mutola landing the 800 Metre spoils is that it is Ladbrokes that are out of line with other bookies about Maria's chances.
