with 5' rest, how should this compare to 2k pace? I went a 1:43.2/500m (6:53) on my last 2k

Just a guess, but I'd suggest 1:45/6...

I agree with Mike. Start at low 1:46s and see where you are for the last interval.

Today I managed to do 4 x 1300m, rest 5 mins @2K+1.

IMO, you need to retest your 2k.

I used 4 x 1250 r4' as pacer for my 2.5k and it was 1-1.5S slower than 2k, so doable but at the limit and too fast for regular training IMO.

I agree that it is too fast, I won't be doing that again.

4x1250m, 4r, at 2k+4s if your 2k is up to date and you race the 2k properly.

Agree with Stu - need to retest your 2K.
