Too intense in my opinion, especially this

4-8 x 800-1200 @ 3k pace w/ 400 jog (I would keep the pace at ~10k pace on base phase)

And the next day´s 500-600m at 800 pace.

Also the mile pace session if you use the 500´s or even 300-400´s, I would keep those under 200m per rep for base training.

These are aerobic+anaerobic power workouts that should be avoided in the base phase, and should be done carefully in the pre competition period. Steady pace (strong aerobic running) is the most important training in the base phase when the main goal is to lift the aerobic threshold, with easy runs, sub LT´s and some long intervals/tempo + sprints work.
