I have been running about 45 miles per week. I just did 3x1600 with 5 minute rest at 5:00,4:59,4:59. I have also done 12x300 with full rest in in between reps, the first three were 45,50,50, and the rest were at 47, and the last two were at 48. My pr from last outdoor season was 4:25. Much appreciated.
What is full rest? That could be 30 seconds for an elite, but 20 minutes for an undeveloped runner.
2-3 minutes, until my breathing returned to normal and my legs felt better.

The most important piece of information here is your PR set last season. Without that I was going to say 4:35. With the PR given at 4:25, I just have more questions...are you running more now than you did at this time last season? If so, were you capable of doing the workout you just mentioned? Assuming normal progression for a kid still in high school and that you are asking about what you might run the 1600 in for the whole of track season, not now, I say you will run 4:19.
yeah I agree with this guy Im shocked that you could run 425 based off of those workouts I think you may have gotten worse?

I ran 4:25 at my peak during outdoor season last year. I have been training for like 4 weeks. I know that I am not in 4:25 shape right now.
