I ran a 1:18 600m yesterday on very little speed training and about 7 miles a day of running? My best 800 is 1:51, what does my 1:18 equate to in 2 months?

In 2 months it will equate to a 1:18 600m 2 months earlier on very little speed training and about 7 miles a day of running
1:46.58
It means that if you have a solid base from the fall you should run well under 1:50. That being said, 1:18.0 FAT is much different than 1:18.9h. What is your 1500/mile PR?
Personally when I was able to run 1:18 I could run 1:48. I came more from a miler moving down background than a sprinter moving up though. Did you run XC? What are your best times in other events?
For a quick conversion, multiply the 600 time by 1.43 to get a comparable 800 time. A 1:18.00 is worth 1:51.54 with this conversion.
In two more months, who knows? Just get in some races against some 1:48-1:50 guys, hang with them at all costs and and try to beat them at the end. The fast times will come eventually.

If you need such a poor multiplier (1.43) to get convert your 600m to 800m time, you need to work more on aerobic uptake. My guys convert with 1.375. So,I'd say 1.47-1.48 shape to the OP with the 1.18/600m time.
He should know what best applies to him; 600m x 1.43 or 600m x 1.375 or somewhere in between.
My estimate sounds overly-optimistic given his 1.51 PR
1:50-1:52 depending on whether you're a 400/800 type or an 800/1500 type: http://www.iaaf.org/newsfiles/22164.pdf
Im afraid running 1.18 means very little. I stopped running 600m time trials as it is fairly easy to run a quick 600m if your in shape, especially if you go out hard for the first 400m.
Try running a 700m, its a big difference and will tell you lots more. 1.33 700m is far better than a 1.18 600m.
With very little training the next 200 is likely to be 40 seconds, so 1:58.
I'm not really an 800 guy, but I do remember reading in Sub 4:00 how Nate Brannen kept coming through 600m in 1:18 DURING his 800m races. I think his times varied from 1:46 to 1:48...
With yours being just running till 600m, I'd guess in the 1:51 area like someone else said.
