Today I ran 15x200 @ right around 29 seconds each, started every three minutes... anybody have any input on what is a realistic race prediction? I feel like I have been underperforming in races.. my prs as of a week and a half ago are 400-54.6 800-2:07 1600-5:02
To run 1:55 you need to get your 1600 time down under 4:20.
15 x 29 w/ 1' rest to break 2.
What makes a prediction difficult, with that much rest, is knowing whether the 200s were run with a true middle-distance stride or as a semi-sprint. I could see anything between ~2:06 and just under 2:00.

lol! The 200m workout is so inaccurate. I ran 1:55 at 16 years old and never did a workout like that.
I think you can crush 2:07 but as others have said it’s a lot of rest (but also a lot of volume). I would say 2:02-2:04 if forced to guess.

Why dont just hammer down 2 track rounds?
I am almost 50 and i can do that too.
Not that 3 minutes rest makes it a bad workout, it's just that the 3 minutes rest makes it largely difficult to predict anything. 2:04? 1:58? 2:05? 1:59? 2:01?
