Regionals is next week and I’m trying to break 4:40 for the 1600m, preferably go 4:36 or something. What should my splits be for each 400? My prs are currently 4:46.30 for the 1 mile, 4:44.xx for the 1600m and 2:06.71 for the 800m. Also have a 10:14 3200m PR that was set indoors. I have to go sub 4:40 to make state so any help/input would be greatly appreciated. Each of my prs have been set on not fresh legs because my coach has me triple every meet.
Your first quarter will more than likely be a little quick, so just make sure you're at sub 2:18 at the half and sub 3:28 at the 1200. The last 400 should run itself (as long as you're feeling relatively good at the 3/4). Just get to the 1200 around 3:27/28 and you should be good. With a 2:06 800 pr you should be fine.
Thanks man. I ended up running a 4:40.30. First lap was a 1:07, then the remainder of the race was straight 1:11s. Went through 800 in 2:17-18, and I went through 1200 @ 3:29. Luckily I made it to state on a wild card. I’m elated. :)
