Do you guys think it's possible for me 2 run around 1:55-1:56 based on these last 4 workouts
2x(6x200) 90 seconds rest 5 minutes in between sets(29,29,29,28,28)(29,30,29,29,29,26)
2x lap walk in between 56,55 then 4x200 200 walk in between 27,26,28,27
4x400 5 minute rest 58,58,56,57
600 meter time trial in flats 1:26
400 pr 53.96
4x400 split 52 high
I did 1:57 off of workouts I'd consider easier than these, except for 10x200 in about the same pace as what you did with about the same rest, but all one set. I'd say you're good for 1:57 or under, but these all incorporate a good amount of rest. what are your current PR's?

Bump
Of course it is possible but 54.0, 4:36 and 10:04 don't really lead to it.
As someone who progressed through those times (1:26 in a 600, 4:36 mile, etc.) - no. You're not ready...yet.
When I was in 1:55 shape I was splitting a 51 in the 4x400 and was running a mile in close to 4:20. My 600 was 1:24 4 months before the 1:55. Shortly after I ran 1:24 I ran a 1:57.
So you're getting there, but a 1:55 would be surprising.

Do you think I am capable of 1:57-1:58
I'd say you're looking at 1:57-1:59.
One season I ran 1:55.03, 1:55.54, and 1:55.12 within a few months of eachother.
I was running stronger workouts than this. I'd expect 4x400 w/5min rest to be completed in ~56.x for each rep.
10x200 w/90s rest should be run in 28 flat without much trouble.
600 TT should be 1:24.0 or so (assuming flying start).
You're pretty close. If your workouts were smooth, then maybe you're at 1:56. If you were hammering to hit those times, doubt your at 1:56, maybe 1:57 or 1:58.
The 400 PR is odd. That 4 x 400 session on 5 mins' rest suggests you should be able to run faster than that over a flat 400. Also, you don't gain over a second from the running start on a 4x400 split. I think you're more of a 53-low runner or better. And that in turn makes it tough to run much under 1.58. That's where I see you.
The 2 x 6 x 200 session should be done on 30 sec rests and 5 mins in between sets. I know 2.02-2.04 runners with good speed who could do that session with the 90 sec rests.
you're good for 1:56 I think. get out in 56ish and see where it goes from there.

Maybe. It's outdoors, so you don't just have tactics to deal with, but potentially weather as well.
In the perfect race on the perfect day? Maybe you break 1:58.
But don't overthink it. Just go out in 57-58 and see what happens.
