I am running the 1200 leg of a DMR this Saturday and am wondering what you guys think I could run.
Wednesday's workout
8x600, 2:30 rests
6 in 1:58-9
1 in 1:56
1 in 1:54
It is my first time to run the 1200 and my opening race of the season, so I don't really know what to expect.
Thanks!
P.S. I know I'm slow and I suck.

Is it really ok to bump your own post?
3:45 - 3:55? I have no idea.
first of all your rests are way too long...they should be 60-90 seconds max...I would say 3:50-4:00 minutes...
Take the average of the pace you could run for 800 and 1600. It's usually right on. Maybe (70s+75s)/2=72.5, so 3:37 or so.
Agreed, your rest periods should be shorter unless that's the pace you're hoping to run for 800 this year.
