Last week I ran a short interval workout. Im very curious to what these times equal to or around.
All repeats were 400m with 2 minutes in between reps
73
72
72
70
70
Was pretty easy so Then I start hammering them
69
69
67
69
66- All I had left
PS I do easy runs 4 days a week averaging around 7:04 over 7 miles
If you could hit those times with 60 seconds I'd say 4:40. I think a true 4:40 miler would have closed that particular workout (2:00 recovery) in closer to 60 though. I'd go 4:48 give or take.
4:36
4:54, too long recovery for it to be mile pace

I am currently in 4:35ish shape and there is no way I could do low 60s with 2:00 recovery.
Also, I guess 4:40

He is saying low 60 for the last rep
How fast are you?
For people with sub-55 speed, that workout would be exceedingly doable, but would have little prediction power for the 1600.
4:55ish
Your language is a little confusing. 70-72 was "pretty easy" and then 69 was "hammering". I think if you were in mid 4:40's shape the second five wouldn't have felt too hard and the 66 wouldn't have been too big of a deal.
Ive never raced in a 400 but from a time trial I was able to hit 57
