What about all runs at slow than a 7 min/mile? Would a sub 14 min 5k be possible? What about a sub 30 min 10k?
Before you gave a specific pace I would have said yes. The reason is that if one is running enough "easy miles" then there is almost no way that you would not be able to handle faster and faster paces that you objectively felt were "easy". Also, the "easy" method of training is what is aka LSD. Long slow distance allows one to pile up substantial mileage totals while also, by closing out each run with progressively faster paces, to regularly incorporate faster than race pace turnover into your training. Throw in some hilly terrain and you are getting some decent training in.
