    I've been running 30mpw for the past month, but more specifically this stuff this past week (just an example of training)

    8mi at ~7:40 on Monday

    5mi at ~8:00 on Tuesday

    1mi warmup 3 miles on a track alternating 150m at 4:30 pace and 250m recovery at 7:00 pace then 1 mile cooldown.

    I just got my wisdom teeth out today. What time do you think I can run a 5k in 9 days from now?

    If you think this is a troll (it's not) just do your little whatever/10 and then still answer my question; I want to know others' opinions.

    I don't mean to sound rude but none of this info is terribly useful for estimating an all-out 5k and that's probably why you are not getting any responses.

    How difficult was the 8-miler? Like was it a near-max effort or a fairly easy run?

    It was moderate 7/10 effort. The 5mi was 4/10 effort and the last workout was about 9/10.

    19:15. Your track workout is a fartlek-style workout that has you doing 3 miles at an average of 6:03/mile (around 18:10 for the full workout).

    In a minor race situation, that might be worth closer to 18:00, but you just had your wisdom teeth out, you're following a strange training plan of your own device, and you're probably running a road 5K but running your hard workout on a track.
