Predict my mile time please

Training Advice/Discussion General

Hi guys,

I know a lot of people hate threads like this but could you please predict my mile time based on the following workout:

2x400 in 1:33 and 1:30

followed by 12x200 in 45,45,43,43,

43,41,41,40,

42,43,40,39.

about 2 mins rest between the last 400 and starting the 200s and also 2 mins between each 200(did a 200m walk back and went again).

Some other general info about my training: 25 Year old male, been running around 4 months now, average around 25mpw, majority very easy. Recently found out I’ve been running my easy days too fast so I’ve slowed down to running around 10:30 pace on my easy days. Ran a 5k before I really started running and got 25mins, I think I can run one in around 23:30 right now. Am I way off a sub 6 mile? Please predict my mile time.

I’m old so I don’t really get most internet humor, but this is pretty funny. Quite the elaborate set up.

Probably 5:30 shape rn

Hard to tell. Considering your 5k pace is quite off of 6 minute mile I would say you are in 6:15-6:25 shape.

Try for sub 7 min and go from there.

Do 12x400 in 1:30 with 1:30 rest and that would indicate a 6:00 mile

Nah, that would indicate more like 5:40. And a 6:00 miler doesn’t need to be doing 12 x 400, no offense.

Looking at around a 6:15

it's only a mile, just go and run it and find out. it's not like a marathon where you can't go out and test on a whim.

12 might be too much but 8 would tell us something. The above workout tells us nothing. With the huge rests he could be doing 200s at sub 800m pace..
