Guess actual 800m time from pre-race workout

1:53.2

2:03.5

Here's one more workout from the previous week that might be a bit better

3 sets of 400,200,200
58.3, 27, 27
57.2, 29, 28
58.3, 29, 28
3min between reps and 5min between sets

This is a great estimate.

1.57.5 to 1.59.5 depending on how u feel on that day

1:58.8

This is pretty spot on. 1:57.9 was the time! I appreciate the 1:53 votes, though. Might have to train for an outdoor season to see if I can get closer to that!

Was honestly going to write 1:53ish based on the 1st workout & then 1:58ish based on the 2nd. Keep training, even if you're just able to log some base miles.

those 200s are pretty nice to end it off with

1:56ish?

oh thank goodness i didnt scroll down

ok, not too far off

Running this workout and only running a 1:57 sure is something. Wither you've performed poorly on race day or you're overcooking your workouts.

I'd guess 1:55 high

That’s always tough to predict workouts can give a hint, but race conditions, pacing, and adrenaline make a big difference. I’d say use the workout as a confidence boost, but your actual 800m time might surprise you, usually a bit faster when the competitive energy kicks in.

The best clue for the slower than expected 800, or good performance on short intervals is in the OP. "former 400m".

I think this is probably accurate. I did some workouts with 600s but didn't do too many longer reps on the track (I tried to supplement with longer runs etc.). I also only raced the 800 once before I called the season as I was going to be travelling for holidays and work and didn't think I could find the time to keep training. If I were to start up again, do yall think it would make sense to do more longer reps in workouts or would increasing mileage help more? I'm not sure how much this was a matter of just not racing enough to get everything right vs. imbalanced training. Thanks for all the replies so far!
