600/800 prediction

Oh it was an almost all out effort.. maybe still had one or two into me at same pace.

you are not 1:51 range until you run 1:51. you won't run a 1:19 until you can break 1:50 in real life.

Have you done anything that leads you to believe you can come through the first 400 in 50 seconds and then close the last 200 meters in 29?

My plan isn’t to run 50-29 if I were to run 1:19 (the attempt will come in a month.) I have ran 1:51 high and was able to run a 49. 400m last summer. I believe when in peak shape that I could go 51.5 and come back in 28 something to run 1:19 high. Only time will tell tho. I have done multiple trainings with low 18sec 150s.

A year ago I ran 1:21 high in even splits (last winter)

Hello! I would like to ask what would you predicted for me over a 600/800 distance with this training :

2x4x200m (4min between reps) (25.9 Avg)

I did previous work that showed me I am between 1:51-1:54 range. I also have about a 16:30 5k capacity.

Oh and if I wanted to run around 1:19 for the 600 what "times" should be hit in training over what distance.

Thanks a lot!

Your 49s speed is fantastic and enough to run around 1:48 if you develop the endurance/stamina.

16:30 5k shows absolutely horrendous endurance/aerobic abilities for your talent as a runner. Press that down to 15 flat and you will run 1:48-1:49. Even 800m specialists can still run a good 5k. 16:30 is more like what 2 flat 800m specialists can run, stop being lazy and do the work..

Thanks for the response! Any tips to drop my 5k time ? I do about 50-60km per week and do intervals once a week (usually Ks) + Long run and all that stuff

Are you really supposed to burn out that much on a 600?

Idk your last is surely the slowest but I don’t feel like 50/29 is the right way to pace yourself
