Working Out With A World Champion: 800m Record Pace With Ajee’ Wilson
The first time Ajee' Wilson broke two minutes for the 800m was at the USA Championships in 2013 when she ran 1:59.55 to finish third and qualify for Worlds. She has done it every year since.
That’s why no Ajeé fan should be worried about what is a Halley’s comet-level rarity: her running a bad race. Remember, her 1:58.16 from Paris is still the US leader.
We went to Philadelphia to join her for a workout the week before her off day at the NYC Grand Prix and Kyle Merber can personally confirm she is fit!
In the latest edition of The Lap Count Newsletter, Kyle shared a bunch of takeaways from the workout – without going into the excruciating detail, first and foremost it was a good one!
On tired legs from the 800s and one set of 300-200-200, our first set, we ran another 700m at WR 800m pace with a total of 60 seconds rest. As a refresher, the WR is 1:53.28!
It’s rare for an athlete to stay with their coach from their youth track days all the way through their time on the professional circuit. Think about how much you evolve as a person and an athlete in that timespan – so it’s a testament to Wilson and her coach, Derek Thompson, that they’ve not only made it work, they’ve thrived. And they’ve done it their own way.
