400 + 3200 -> 800?

2:02 - 2:05

2:05. Sorry but not even close to sub 2. If your 400 was 51 or your 3200 was 9:20 maybe

A 1600 time would be more helpful for this prediction, based on 10 flat I'm gonna assume you can run in the 4:30s give or take, so yeah 2:02 sounds about right. I broke 2 with only 55 speed but I was in 4:26 / 9:35 shape.

You don't need either of times to break 2, lol pure mid distance guys can run a 1:53 off of 51 speed

thank you for this elementary middle distance lesson at the school of captain obvious. what i OBVIOUSLY was saying was that if he has a 10:00 3200, he better be running 51 to be running sub 2, and if he has only a 56, he better be running 9:20

1600 is better for predicting: but low 2's. 2:04 is what I'd say.

Anecdotally: here are ~5 times from people I know:

1. 51/9:30 --> 1:52

2. 56/9:40 --> 2:02

3. 57 / 9:20 --> 2:03

4. 54/10:00 --> 2:02

5. 53 / 8:55 (converted form 3k) --> 1:52

i ran 1:57 and 4:21 same day. My 3200 PR at the time was officially 10:15. 400 PR officially 54.

that's great for you, and on that same day you could have run a 9:20 3200. you can't seriously be so brain dead you actually think you could have only run 10:15 on the day you ran 4:21/1:57. official PR my aAs

I think the best you can assume and target is sub-2:04. But you can improve that down to sub-2:00 eventually. Get down to 55 and get strong.

Give him about 2:03-2:04, sub 2 by track season

You’d run about 2:05, stay in solid 3200m shape while getting that 400m down to 53ish and you’ll break 2:00.

It’s that or keep the 56 and get to like 8:50 in the 3200 so take your pick haha.

I meant sub-2:05, not 2:04. You might run 2:03-high or 2:04, who knows. Again though, a 55 guy with endurance can break 2:00.
