Judging from this workout what could I run the mile in right now? Track is coming up and this will be my senior year. I run 80mpw all at 6:50-7:00 pace. Let me know what I can hit.
Why were you doing 15 of them?
Is there a benefit to doing that many? I'd like to think its possible for OP to go 4:00, but idk. Maybe he's a super slow twitcher
Good job, under 5 for sure!

This workout don`t actually give your potential at the mile alone. You have to complement with recovery time and how your normal training week look like.......faster speedwork and so on.

Because 800s make you strong. Its a great workout. As for my speed workouts I do 200s and 400s.
that looks nothing like a mile workout

Ok yes its more of a 3,000m+ workout but i’m sure this can predict a mile. I’m hoping for sub 4:15 this season.
Howe far out are you planning this mile? This is a great workout but like others have said, it's not really a mile workout, especially if your'e close to running it. If you felt good during this you're in great shape. I'd sharpen more by doing faster stuff with less rest. Good luck.
Tell us about your speed. How fast can you run 400m, all out?
Recovery? 5 min?
Pretty clear this is a troll post...

Absolutely this indicates a just under 4.15 mile.....but you should not run 15 x 800s at as it looks like around your maxVO2 -pace. Better to run 15-20 x 800s at your LT-pace and f.ex 8-10 x 800s at your maxVO2 -pace . It`s to much "variation" in that 15 x 800s at first 2.16-2.17 and than down to 2.09. Will not give the very best even level of pressure .
You would be better of running one workout 20 x 400m at 63-64 sec or 8-10 x 800 at 2.08-2.10 per week, and another LT-pace long interval f.ex 6-8 x 1600m at 4.36-4.40 min. That should guarantee a mile around 4 min. You also have to complement with fast mile race pace repetitions when you get closer to race.

I think you are right... ;)
One doesn`t get recommended to come here on the boards I think, if you have that kind of capacity
But the example of what to do with that kind of capacity is quite interesting. That workout is an example of how not to do it if
one want to reach best results.

Run sub-2:05 800m with 2mn recovery. If it's colder than 40F, jog the recovery. Tell us how many you were able to do at sub-2:05. I believe you will be able to do three to five.
0/10 troll is trolling
"Jack Daniels. He said Jim Ryun did 15X800 in 2:45."
You did 15x800 in 2:12-14 avg. Ryun was in form to run 3:39-40 mile, so I think that you can break 3:30 for the mile.
I am assuming troll but that is a half/full marathon workout. You need a coach asap!
Sub-2:00 marathon for sure.
The true test of a sub-2 marathon is not 15x800, but rather 5 x 18 miles. If all 5 reps can be done at 6:30 pace or less with 35.7s of rest in between reps, a runner is capable of sub-2. Surprised Nike didn't know this.
