Did a longer 200m workout yesterday, was wondering if there are any takeaway I could get from it?

The workout was as follows..

200m, 30 sec. rest, 200m.

1:30 break.

200m, 30 sec. rest, 200m

2:00 break.

200m, 30 sec. rest, 200m

2:30 break

200m, 30 sec. rest, 200m

4:00 set break, then repeat the set with the same time intervals.

Times were as follows:

30-29

29-29

28-29

28-27

-Set Break-

29-28

27-25

27-27

28-27

Any conclusions ya'll can draw from that would be awesome. I'm racing an 800m in a few weeks at a college invitational, and was wondering if you guys had predictions as well.

Thanks

I would say you could manage a 1:55

To be brutally honest, I just did what my coach told me to. I'm not in an actual college program with a team, but I have a "coach" with lots of experience who gives me workouts and helps me along.

Interesting workout. Agree with 1:55 or better. Depends on if you're a workout king or a racer.

Not easy stringing 27's or better with 30s rest. If I could do that I'd say low 1:50's but I'm terrible at workouts and decent at racing.

I'm usually a solid workout guy, but I definitely turn it up a notch when racing. I kind of get carried away and don't realize I'm running quick when racing, I just compete!

I'm definitely hoping for somewhere in the 1:51-1:55 range, hopefully it's possible. I think I'm more of a speed guy than endurance for sure
