I've run both of these times with in 2 weeks, and I'm racing a 1600m soon. What can I run?

I'd guess 4:11/4:12, but wouldn't rule out anything between 4:09 and 4:14.

You’re in 4:04-4:06 mile shape!
4:10 +/- 2 seconds
Good luck!
Let us know how it goes
1:53 predicts 4:11, but 8:56 predicts 4:07! I'd say sub 4:10 should be the goal.
4:15
Ran 1:53 high and low 8:1x 3k and couldn’t break 4:10

I’ve always found doubling your 800m time is a great prediction for your corresponding 1500m time. Your 1:53 suggests a 3:46 1500m. Add about an extra 18 seconds onto that to convert to a mile. Let’s us know how you get on.

No doubt that happened to you, but you are actually an outlier. The bulk of runners running 8:56 and 1:53 can run 4:08ish.
Yeah, on the other end I just squeaked under 4:07 with 1:56 and 8:59.

Good news is we'll get to see what he actually runs, via athletic.net.
Following up here. Looks like mechumsRiver123 ran a 4:21 to win the Virginia Class 3 State Championship 1600. Not as fast as he can go, but he got the win.
