So I should be running the 1000 at my regional meet in a week, and I want to know what you think I can run based on my workout today. It was 4 sets of 400-200-200 with 2 minute rest between everything and you're supposed to get faster between sets. Set 1: 70, 33, 33; Set 2: 68, 31, 31; Set 3: 64, 30, 29 Set 4: 59, 29, 28. It didn't really start feeling that uncomfortable until the fourth set after the last 400. My best time in the 1000 this season has been 2:48.
I like that you closed in 28 rather than 32. 2:39. I was surprised when I saw 2:48
The last two 200s hurt but I wanted to keep getting faster
How have you raced in other distances (600m, 800, mile)?
It is pretty reasonable to add 2ish (maybe3) seconds to your 800 season PR, then add an additional second for the next 200 pace.
Example: I ran 2:08 a couple years ago and then ran 2:44 for the 1k (came through in 2:10, which is 32.5 per 200 pace, and closed in a 33high-34ish)
My friend who is much faster ran 1:57 for the season, and ran 2:31. (came through in 1:59mid, closed in 31high)
I haven't really run the 800 this year, sorry
2:44.73 FAT
My prediction: 2:40.00
Sorry bro, sub 2:40 next year.
