Training Advice/Discussion 5k/10k

I was hoping some of you could predict how fast I can currently run for 5k and 8k. Today I did an 8x1k workout with 2 minutes rest between each k. I ran the workout on a hard dirt path at 5,500 feet. The path is has about a 25 foot elevation gain while running in one direction. I alternated running uphill and downhill.

1 3:40 uphill

2 3:26 downhill

3 3:37

4 3:25

5 3:36

6 3:24

7 3:38

8 3:23

other info:

I have been running about 60 mpw and I am generally better at the 1500 than the 5k.

Thanks for any predictions.

I don't understand why everyone keeps asking this. I understand that we all want an estimate on what we could run, but if that's the case, run a time trial or an actual 5k. You CANNOT predict a 5k time based on a workout.
