How Long Did It Take to Run 800 Meters?

i was a walk on 800 meter runner in college, meaning i wasn't good enough to get recruited. In my third season, where i had training that was more tailor to me, i started improving,. And i beat scott for the first time, he never beat me again. So there re two things, there are differences in initial skill at something, and there's also differences in the rate at which people improve.
