Today I did a 600 at 4:30 pace and got it right on. Next is 10 minutes of walking recovery followed by three 300s with 1:50 recovery at 44, 45, 45. Then another 10 minute walking break. Finally I did 3 200s with 1:00 recovery at 31, 28, 31. I am a sophomore in high school. If anyone can help on predicting my 800 it would be very appreciated.
I'm no expert but I would guess 2:04
2:10-15
2:04 - 2:08

Why not ask your coach for help.
I can do that workout, and my PR is 2:12, although I know a guy who couldn't whose PR is 2:05. He's also a former sprinter that just tried the 800 recently and is getting moved up, so I guess it really just depends on your build. Given that you're a Sophomore, you probably aren't huge. I'll say I'd be surprised if you broke 2:10. There is a lot of rest in that workout.
I'll say 2:05, taking that you did this workout on an all weather track.
I predict that you will DNF. You'll be on pace to run 2:05.73, then you'll step on the rail with 93.72 meters to go. Your foot will strike the rail at an unlucky angle causing your ankle to break. You'll hobble a couple of steps toward the finish line, but the pain will be to great and you'll hop on your right foot into the infield and fall down.
At least that's what I'm getting from the workout described.
That workout is better suited for running 800s on Saturdays. If you have to race Friday, as your coach if you can switch to the 3200.
