Should the rest between 400m and 800m repeats @milepace be the same? What about 800m repeats @3200m pace?

Nova used to do 10x400 with 400 jog at mile pace
800s at mile pace is a different beast, usually it’s a late season 3x800 workout with like at least 4 min rest
800s at two mile pace, I’ve seen workouts like 6x800 with 400 jog at 2 mile pace before
400s at mile pace are going to feel relatively easy individually, while 800s at mile pace will be quite difficult.
I personally jog a lap as slow as 9:00 pace as recovery for 400s or walk diagonally across the track and start on the other corner.
800s I’ll usually do full rest, which for me will mean my HR will dip under 115 and I’ll feel physically and mentally ready to do it again. Could be 3 minutes, could be 7 or 8.
400's at 1500m pace 90-2 min but we rarely do this run your 400's at 3k pace on 2 min cycle.
3x800 2:11 2:02 1:57 w/5min rest
=3:43
400s at mile pace should start at 2 min rest and work down to 1 min rest by the end of the season. Just 8-10 400s is plenty.
And 800s at mile pace is pretty wild. That should be very late season and only 3 x 800 with full recovery like 5 minutes. That's what you call a lactate tolerance workout. You'll go lactic early and just get your body used to running with lots of lactic.
If you're an 800/mile type a great 800m workout is 3 x 400 all out with full recovery, but this is a late season workout.
800s at 3200m pace is not a good idea, 60ps would probably be better, or 800s at 5k pace or 400s at 3200 pace with short rest.
