The reason for 400m is the sheer brutality of a 50-60second sprint. 800m is even worse. I'm not a track person, but I run them because the benefit of running them is huge.
The alternative is what I said: 40:80, or 60:120, or longer to imitate the 800m. The longer rest allows you to recover better, thus you can actually run at 100% for all of your intervals, rather than just the first.
And, in all seriousness, pick a goal, I'm sure there's a big 5K race in your area coming up sometime soon, try it out. Competition is good for the soul. Your training WILL improve as will your fitness.
