Hi, I was wondering what kind of shape I am in for the 1600.
I just ran a workout (10x400 90s rest, 4 min rest, 4x200 200 jog rest) with these splits:
85, 84, 85, 84, 84, 84, 84, 84, 85, 84, 37, 39, 40, 39
Thanks!

If you step up to a race situation (competition and faster shoes than the workout), maybe close to 5:30 assuming these weren’t all out.
What do you mean by all out? The reps definitely felt hard, but the effort was controlled (except on the 200s since I was already dead)
most likely somewhere between a triangle and a parallelogram. if you are unsure, go out at cylinder pace and close in hexagon if your legs still have something left in them.
I don't know about 1600 but probably 5:20 mile shape.
This is pretty surprising since my PR is 5:48 which I ran last week, it might have been the pacing or something else though. What would you suggest I do to run these times that I appear to have the fitness for?
Eh, I don't agree with the above posters, I would have said maybe in the low 5:40s. So not all that far off from your race. 90s is a good amount of rest.
Ok, that seems pretty accurate then. I want to run the 800, 2000m steeple, and 3200 this season in addition to the 1600, what do you think I can run for these? My goals are to break 2:30, 5:30, 12:00, and 7:30.

That's right.
It's fine to have a rough estimate of your fitness, but it's also best not to have a number glued to your mind. Make sure you don't forget to race with your heart as well as your brain, not just one or the other.

There are obviously a ton of variables in play here, but if we just focus on the 5:30, yeah, probably! I assume you are young and have a lot of growth ahead of you in your training so I'd for sure have it as a goal if I were you. Take your easy days easy, don't over-run on your hard days and best of luck!
