Recent workouts:
12 miles at 6:45 pace (comfortable, uptempo effort)
6 miles @ 6:15 pace (fairly comfortable)
3 miles @ 5:46 pace (hard, all-out effort)
Is 1:22 possible?
I'm also going for sub-3 at Boston. I'm thinking of running at least one more 16 miler at goal marathon pace.(6:45-6:52)
Not enough info... PRs?
It's possible. Go for it. I'm pretty close to those efforts and recently ran 1:23+ without any taper.
Good enough for 1:20 if you have any sort of race game. Most don't it seems.
PRs not relevant as they were set many years ago...
16:00 for 5K,
1:14 for the half.
Forgot to add...I've been running about 30-40 miles per week with one "workout" each week for the last 4 months.

The 3 mile workout is basically a solo 5k in 17:22 or so. I'm not sure if I could do that totally alone in a workout when I was in 1:19:03 shape (it would be close, though). What is your 5k PR? When I ran the HM time I mentioned, I was in about 17:10 -17:15 shape.
I'm thinking you might be in high 1:18 shape.

They are relevant. You are not trying to do something you haven't already done.
I can get you a big PR, maybe sub 65. Just message me if you're interested.
5:46 pace is closer to 17:52 for 5K I believe
6 miles at 6:15 was comfortable, but 3 at 5:45 was difficult? something's up there. i say you can run 1:17.
Anyway anything over 10k is for slow jogger sissies.
I'm more of a strength runner and I haven't done much V02 max work so that might explain why I struggled with 5:45 pace. 6:15 was "fairly comfortable" not sure I can hold that for 13 miles
9 days out from my half PR (1:21:20 on a course with ~350 ft elevation gain) I ran 10k in 37:30 solo. Pretty hard effort--I was probably flat out the last 3-4K. I'll say anywhere from 1:20-1:22 depending on course and conditions. Good luck and bump this after your race.
