Just finished 4x1 mile on a grassy cross country course. Felt uncomfortably comfortable the whole time with a 3-4 minute rest in between. 5:56-5:58-5:58-6:07. Im running a 3 mile (not 5k) saturday on a similar course and I'm wondering what a realistic goal is. Thanks.

17:00 - 17:50, depends on how hard you were actually going. I'd peg you for a 17:28, though. The slower last one shows a lack of strength.

Serious question, if he was actually trying and barely broke 18 on his first 3 miles added together and with a break in between, how would he run a 17:28?

...because it is a workout. Different than a race. I assumed that he/she was not wearing spikes and that this is in the span of a normal training week, so he/she was probably not running on his/her best legs. I assumed that roughly 10 sec off of the first three per mile isn't too crazy when you consider being fresher, having adrenaline, wearing spikes, and running a heck of a lot harder. Even if the dude was wearing spikes during this workout, its not like they were treating it like a race. The workout was described as "uncomfortably comfortable", and not "really freakin' hard so I had to puke in the bushes afterwards." You train to race. You don't race in training.
P.S. Hoping this is a she.
What are YOUR thoughts on this???

I would guess not a she... Just a mediocre HS guy running 7th or 8th on his team. Lots more of those than sub 18 min girls
Just ran a 17:59. Not too far off from my workout but nothing special. Definitely not a 19:40 though...
5k or was it actually 3 miles?
