Training for the 1k for the hept, and I jumped into a 12x200 workout off 1 min still rest. I averaged 34-mid, which is *roughly* 2:50 pace, which could possibly win at conference in the hept. Is 2:50 a good estimation of current fitness based on the workout? I have decent speed (7.15 60m) so I shouldn't have any issue closing hard the last 100 or so, but id like a good goal to shoot for. Thank you guys in advance.
Best workout predicter of 1000m pace is 4 x 500 w 2:30 walking recovery.

Only second to 1000m @ 1000m pace.

That's way too hard, especially for a relatively aerobically weak heptathlete. That's equal to 4x400 w/ a few minute rest for the 800m. I've done 3x400 @ 800 pace w/ longer recoveries, that hurt, and I had many more miles in the bank compared to a multi-athlete.
I ended up running 2:56. Outdoor 1500m for the decath should be nice!
