Subject: RE: Male eqivalent time for 16:06 5k
Body:

Women are roughly 9-12% slower than men across all distances at the top levels (look at all the world records). So a 16:06 for a woman would be roughly 14:22-14:45 for a guy. The person who guessed 14:30 basically got it right, but for the wrong reason.

If, as a coach, I was given the choice to coach a woman with 16:06 talent or a male with 14:30 talent I would choose the female every time though b/c even though the times are roughly equal women's running isn't as deep so that female would likely consistently finish higher in races than would the male.
