Workout 7x 300 w/ a 4 min jog:
42 (feeling good), 43 (relaxed), 45 (relaxed a little too much), 40 (overcompensated), 42, 44 (got a little lazy), 43 ~ 42 avg.
Obviously this is a lot of rest, but I felt smooth for the whole workout and 300 is 1/2 the distance of a 600.
The pacing in this workout was pretty uneven and it wasn't all out. I'm thinking I could go out
On 4 min rest I’d be surprised if you run faster than 89/90.
Especially with that 45 and 44 in there. You should of done longer reps with less rest.
Nice workout. As usual, most LRCers will not give you any credit. 1:30! How absurd. I think you would be close to your goal, if not faster.
Definitely
Yeah you can for sure. That 40 seconder in the middle indicates you have good speed and endurance. I think you can run 123 for your next 600m.
You cant tell from just 1 workout. I had HS kids that could do this workout easily but couldn't run close to 1:24 in a race.
I would do this workout as a sophomore in high school, when my best 600 was 1:27. I would also only do this workout a bit faster as a junior in college, when my best 600 is 1:19. Your inconsistency shows you are not doing this workout easily; I would run 40-41 seconds dead on for every rep if I did this workout. Even as a sophomore, I would've run 42-43 every rep. The fact that you can't be consistent makes me think you will run high 1:20s, but if it was actually as easy as you claim, you may be capable of low 1:20s.

Right ... hard to tell.
From your pace and work I would say yes, it is possible. However, from your fluctuating times I would say it depends on your execution. If you are able to pace it right you can do it. I think if you come through in 41 or even 42 relaxed you can do it. Much faster and I think you may crumble at the end, while much slower and I don't think you can make the time back. If you go by 200's I'd just go 27, 28, 29. If you go 300's I'd put it in the realm of 41, 43. Metaphorically, I say you have the horses in the barn, it's a matter of if you can control them.
Probably. One workout isn't enough to judge, if I were to guess you'd be right around 1:24. I don't think you'd be capable of running more than twice the race distance in reps and not hitting that average pace in race.
