Sub 1:50

I found a great post on letsrun (which I only check irregularly at this day in age) that has a lot of good tidbits from various posters as to the best training methods for getting under 1:50 in the 800--also applicable to the 1500 in a lot of ways.

Long training thread here.

To give a brief update on my life, I've finished the first half of MS2 at Upstate. Boards are coming in June and then I need to start working in the lab, which will hopefully leave some extra time for more running. I wouldn't say that I've gotten any real "training" in this year, but I have been running a minimal amount. This is pretty much the same story as last year and to some extent the year before that, though if that was true then it was largely due to burn-out and not other time commitments. There are plans in the works for a few races this month. We shall see!
