Does anyone know of any accurate way to convert a 1600 time to a 1500 time. I'm from California so we never run the 1500 in high school. My PR in the 1600 is 4:39. Would it be fair to say that I can break 4:20 in the 1500?

Would it really take you :19 to run 100m at the end of a race where you are kicking?
4:25 in the 15 for you.
Yes, barely, 4:40.0 converts to 4:19.9.
4:21.6
Why would you have to convert to something that you pass en route? Put a cone down and get the split.
That would not work I would be kicking 100m earlier. Subtracting a normal 100m time would make it slower than it actually is.
rule of thumb: -20 seconds(Any 1600 time)

I know a 4:00 mile (not 1600m) is a 3:42.22 1500 meters.
So thats a 0.9259 multiplier on the mile to get a 1500m
I also know a mile to 1600meters has a 0.9942 multiplier
For example, a 4:00 mile x .9942 gives a 3:58.61 1600m.
In reverse, the 1600 to mile has a 1.0058 multiplier
For example, a 4:00 1600m x 1.0058 gives a 4:01.40 mile.
So, lets take your 1600m time of 4:39 (we will call it 4:39.50 since I do not know the decimal)
4:39.50 x 1.0058 equals a 4:41.13 mile
Take 4:41.13 and multiply it by 0.9259 to get a 1500
4:41.13 x 0.9259 equals a 4:20.30 1500 meters
I did some more math (but I am not showing my work) and determined that a 4:39.17 1600 meters converts to a 4:19.99 1500 meters. A 4:39.18 1600 meters converts to a 4:20.00 1500 meters.
Assuming my initial multipliers are official, I presume a can come up with a straight 1600m to 1500m multiplier, but I'm tired
this really does depend on your 800m speed
4'39.0 with
1'40.0 ->4'14.7
1'45.0 ->4'15.6
1'50.0 ->4'16.5
1'55.0 ->4'17.3
2'00.0 ->4'18.2
2'04.0 ->4'18.9
2'05.0 ->4'19.1
2'06.0 ->4'19.3
2'07.0 ->4'19.4

Y'all are way over thinking this project.

added an addition
4:39 / .9942 = 4:40.62764
4:40.62764 / 1.08 = 4:19.840407
Even with those calculations, I think you'll go low 4:20's.
I usually convert 1600 to 1500 by subtracting 100 from it.

...you don't add your fastest 100 meters, you add your slowest.

This poster has got it right. That is a reasonable equivalent that can be extrapolated over a range of performance times. As is said, this doesn't mean that the OP will actually run that converted time, but should likely be capable under the same racing conditions (not always a given).
it is 1600m/16.09344(=Mile) divided by 1.08, which is a convention for the conversion used by many - although there are always people who disagree with this convention.
Isn't it just as simple as subtracting the average of 100m split time?
If he ran exactly 4:40 for 1600, then he is averageing 17.5 seconds per 100 meters. With that said, you can't possibly subtract more time than that when converting to a 1500, because its a shorter race. If anything, you would subtract slightly less time.

You kick at the end of a 1500 race too lol. You don’t kick another 100m in the 1600 vs the 1500. That’s not how you do race conversions. You’ll kick the same for both so the extra 100m will not your kick pace.

4:20 about right and a good goal. Good luck.
