I'm interested to see how close you guys can get/where you think I should be racing.
Workout 1:
5 x 200m (30, 31, 30, 30, 29) with 60 seconds rest
1 x 600m (1:39)
5 min. jog
5 x 200m (30, 29, 29, 30, 29) with 60 seconds rest
Workout 2:
12 x 200m (30, 31, 31, 31, 33, 30, 31, 31, 29, 29, 29, 29) with 45 seconds rest
Workout 3:
12-13 mile long run 6:00 average
I'll say about 4:05 15 and 2:01-2:03 8
4:30
For the mile
2:03 for the 800
I also did 16 x 200m with 200m jog with most at 30 to 29 a little earlier in the season.
With such little rest, you should be well under 4 minutes for the mile. I remember watching a video with Lagat where he says he does a bunch of 200s at 27 with 45 seconds rest to know he is fit enough to break american records. Your workout looks similar.
I agree, sub-4 or bust. Any slower and you just don't have a pain tolerance.
2:04 for 800 and 4:08 for 1500
The most impressive workout is the long run. Are you sure it was at 6/ mile.

It was close. I don't know the distance exactly but I finished on a trail with mile markers and my last mile 2 miles were 6:05 and 5:56 without changing effort level very much. This was a bit of an anomaly workout though. I usually hammer my long runs, but hammer usually means 6:30-6:15 pace. Needless to say, I could hardly walk back to campus that day.
