Training for the Olympics?

Posted at: 2015-05-07 
How often would a school student need to be training for the 800m and 1500m to be at a level to compete at Olympic standard

You don't supply enough information for an intelligent answer.* I'd say forget it. If you aren't already involved in track, then you are not truly interested in the Olympics. You just want your 15 minutes of fame.

3 or 4 times a week with rest days inbetween. For about 3 weeks straight each month.

about an hour a day. I play on the xbox all day for like 8 hours and can run 100m in 11.9 and im 14 yrs/o. try going to the gym aswell

I would guess a couple of years of strict strict dieting and training. You probably need to ask your school's track and field coach and let them know your ambitions. Hope this helps!
