So, today I just ran a 5k tempo at a time of 16:44. I have a race in 2 weeks and I'm planning in doing a couple more workouts in the lead such as 5x1200 on Sunday, Threshold miles at 5:15on the 24th and 6x1000 on the 27th, with some speed work 2 days before. Im doing about 45 mile a week with a long run about 10 miles at 6:30 each week. Predict my time for a race on October 2nd.
1) What is a 5k tempo? Was this an all-out TT? Was it actually a tempo run?
2) What kind of terrain was the 5k "tempo" run on?
3) Why would a 16:44 5k runner be running threshold miles at 5:14 pace?
4) Impossible to say without knowing the answer to question 1 and 2 and the course the prospective race is on.
That said... if you want a wild guess I will go with 16:35

1- actual tempo
2- on an XC course in trainers. Dirt, grass hills at 6000ft altitude
3-that’s what my coach told me to do
4- race is on a pancake golf course at about 1000 feet
Other information- I’m a 4:30 miler who ran a 15:48 at the beginning of quarantine solo. I was running a consistent 80 miles a week after that. Took a break in early august due to a small hiking injury, but have been doing about 60 mpw leading up to this

Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
