So tonight I ran 5x1k all in 3:17 with a 200m jog recovery in around 90 seconds. I did the session on my own with just me and my coach. I am running a 5k on Sunday so what time do you think I should be aiming for?

23:23.23
That's a little close to the race for my liking, but probably no big deal for a young runner doing a 5k. You should be good to go running the race at roughly 3:17/k pace, give or take a couple seconds. Sub-17 for sure, maybe under 16:30 if you pace it well.
First 3k in 10 min, then start hammering.
Try this calculator I made that predicts 5k race times based on recent workouts:

Thanks! The calculator does best with times between 15:00 and 20:00 or so. I don't have a lot of data and workouts for times below 15:00 and for times above 20:00 the patterns are a bit consistent, which is not surprising.
I find this calculator to be extremely accurate. I put in my 5 by mile workout today and it seems pretty accurate to what I could run right now in a 5k. 17:53 to 18:15. Trying to get to 17:30.
This is awesome. Thanks.
Whoops, the above should read inconsistent.
Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see the calculator do.
Very good, predicted 19:26 with a spread of 19:13-19:40 based on last nights workout, I ran 19:36 on Saturday, hoping for 19:30.
Thanks that is actually really accurate
This is the end of all "predict my..." threads.
... nah. :-)
I would need to create predict my mile, half marathon, and marathon calculators to even make a small dent in that. Eventually I would need to take into account how "smooth" did the person look in the workout, distinguish between all-out 1600s and regular 1600s, adjust for if it was a "full" mile, factor in how many beers the person drank the night before, and maybe add in an adjustment for trainers, spikes and flats.

Also, i mean, it might be important to know, say, if you did
6x400 in 70 seconds with 3 minutes rest
there isn't an option to say how many you did in the calculator.
as in Xx400 in 70
The calculator says not to put rest after the last interval, but if I leave out rest after the last interval, an error message pops up.
I put my best 3 by 2 mile with 7min rest from last summer and got 15:48-16:19. My PR is 16:41, but I'm much better at the marathon vs 5k so not a bad calculator
Thanks for the heads up. It's supposed to change blank to zero on the last interval, but is not anymore. I'll take a look into this.Also to the person above, adding the 4 x interval is a good idea. I appreciate the feedback.

An option for time and pace for reps rather than distance and time would be nice, although it's easy enough to convert.
Add stuff for other distances please on runaugur.com

I used this calculator on 3 of my best workouts and it gave me times 3 minutes faster than my actual 5k pr
