First 1500m of season for my daughter this week. 2.27 800m and 45.3 300m PBs in last two weeks. Did 4x800 2.45-2.48 with 2 mins rest last session.
Have seeded her at 5.05. Her PB is 5.10 from September. What 1500m time do you think she can run this week?
Similar dad of daughters here... there are a lot of variables missing, we just be guessing based on what you have posted. Is the 4x800 indicative of her endurance right now? Has she gotten faster overall? My oldest daughter can't run that 300m, but she can run the 800 and the 4x800 set (maybe a little faster). She split 4:57 for 1500m in a mile a few weeks ago. But that was with some taper - the week before she was 5:04 in a straight 1500 (also a poorer tactically run race). It depends on the part of the season, how much endurance she has, and how rested she is, and how the race unfolds (and assuming good weather and a fast track). Seems like by the end of the season she can be well sub 5min though.

Thanks for the reply. The race is a mixed all ages open event and set by presented times. The session she did she did it as 'tempo' which means she didn't go all out. But said it was tough. Her love is cross country and that 300m was the first and only one she has done. Not done an awful lot of 800/1500m track stuff. Her track 3k pb is 11.11 and her most recent xc was 3.2k at 12.10.
My gut is between 5 and 5.05 but if she can get a clear run maybe creep under 5.
Conditions were not great and therefore not as quick as hoped for running 5.07. 2.20 for the first 700 then faded a bit second half. Still a 3 sec PB. Race got spread out. One other female rest boys and with suspect times (over and underestimated) created a real spread out race. Was windy (2.1 to 3.1 headwind on back straight), cold and the track was damp. Good baseline though.
Her last race will be a 1500m in September the goal will be sub 5 by then. Has county races in May which she will run 800m and she will be competitive and then regional in June where will prob run 1500m won't place but hopefully the field helps her get a good time.
