600s at 800 goal pace? For a teenager? Agreed, that's tough even for an adult.
It's tough, but it's not all that tough. I meant like one 600, and then maybe another after full recovery.

i really like this workout, will definitely give it a shot this spring/summer. lots of "traditional" workouts mentioned for 800m involve sprint/float stuff to work on changing gears, or efforts where you progressively run faster splits...none of which actually happen in an 800m race as you point out. it's all about staying relaxed and delaying a major deacceleration as long as possible (or at least until 600m when you go for broke to the line).

Yeah we might give this one a go too.
It's not entirely dissimilar to the Marcus O'Sullivan session that Slow Fat Master suggested further up. That one was (300 meters very hard ¨C 20" rest, followed by 400©\600 meters @ tempo to threshold) x 4 times with 5 min. recovery.
That one's not quite as fast, but you do more of them. Maybe do this once or twice and then give the 2 x 600 at race pace a crack.
What is the threshold that separates a "hobbyjogger" from a "sub-elite" runner?
