Middle distance Workouts and sessions Speed endurance

Nick Symmonds explains a 3x400m workout with four minutes of rest that predicts 800-meter race performance.

This is one of the hardest workouts I did as a pro runner. However, it is great at building speed endurance and is also remarkably accurate at predicting what kind of 800m shape you are in.

On “800 meters workout”

Nick Symmonds has a similar video , where he suggests 3 x 400 with 4' rest is a good indicator work out. Obviously you add up the time, divide by 3 and then multiple by 2 (or \* .666 as someone mentioned) to get the result. So 59,59,59 would be 118 seconds or 1:58. 4' for 6' rest I would think makes a difference so I think 4' would be more accurate. He suggests this work out is harder than a race, [video

On “Advice on preparing for 800m meet”

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I don't have a coach at the moment, so I've had to resort to researching things myself. The 800m predictor I was planning was this workout from Nick Symmonds. It's 3x400m, with 4 min rest between reps.
