Sadly world records, and records in general are not kept by age. They simply record the "best" and "fastest" time by any individual of any age.
If you wanted to base your time in comparison to average ages though, that may prove beneficial. The average avid runner can run an 800 in 2:40-3:00 minutes. Any lower is just icing on the cake.
The world record is 12;:37:35, set by Ethiopian Kenenisa Bekele in 2004.
