800m Pace

Pace and 200m splits for an 800 metre goal time.

Last reviewed 19 August 2026

An 800 in 2:30 is 3:07/km and 75 seconds per 200 m even. Two laps of 400 m. Yasso 800s are a different question — they map a marathon clock onto 800s as a heuristic.

What this result means

The 800 sits between sprint and endurance. This page converts a two-lap goal into pace and 200 m checkpoints. It does not model a 400-plus-kick; even splits are the table.

800m repeats add rest. Yasso 800s ignore your 800 PB and use marathon hours and minutes as 800 seconds — a named workout, not this identity.

2:30 is 3:07/km. 2:00 is 2:30/km. 3:00 is 3:45/km. Even 200s at 2:30 are 37.5 seconds, shown to the nearest second.

A 2:10 800 is 65-second laps. Enter 2:10:00 in the time fields (2 minutes 10 seconds).

Calculation method

Pace = time ÷ 0.8 km. Splits every 200 m. Displayed times round to the nearest second.

Exact arithmetic on 800.00 m.

Championship 800s are rarely even. The table is still the average you must run.
