two different mile workouts - what shape am i in (1600m)

High School Running

2 weeks ago 05/08/2024 3:24pm EDT

i ran this workout:

3 x 800 7 minutes rest (goal was 2:08, 2:04, 2:00)

2:07, 2:04, 2:02 (i accidentally went out in 58 on this rep because I got a little excited)

i also ran this workout last week:

8 x 400 1 min rest

every rep 62.X and averaged 62.7

both were solo but in spikes

i'm only asking because i've been in tactical races all year long and haven't got the shot to really test my fitness (4:19 closing in 58 several weeks ago but I feel a lot fitter now)

9:20 3200 back in march, 1:57 solo 800 several weeks back (won by 10 seconds)

i'm racing a fast invitational this weekend, i'm thinking of shooting for 4:11, i think i'm in 4:10-4:12 shape. do you guys agree?

You ran this last night? Race times and details slightly modified to protect the identity?

I think the 4:10-12 is spot on in the right race.

Bingo, but I made it so it still gives an accurate picture of where I’m at (only slight modifications).

And yes, I ran this last night

re: mile peaking workouts

Assuming you're in high school I think you could break 4:10

Yeah - Pretty sure I saw you and your coach, although maybe you are the coach. :) You looked fast to me!

Good stuff.

Just stay relaxed and in control during your workouts. No workout heroism. Bring the heat during your races!

You can break 4:10 if you are in a fast race where you aren't forced to set the pace for yourself
