I have run 51.83 in the 400. My best 800 so far was a 2:04 but I went out in 54 and came thru the 600 in 1:26 then died the last 100 meters. Yesterday I did 3x400+200 jog 100 meters in between 400 and 200 walked 400 after each set ran 55, 29 , 58,29, 60,28 . What should I be shooting for in my next race.

Idk just run the race not like an idiot and crank the last 300
This indicates to me you are in better shape than when you ran that 2:04, and while a 54 opening lap still is too fast, you can probably do a 56-58 opener and run 1:56-1:58
