What PRs and speed to break 15minutes 5k?

Here is what a 15:00 5k runner is capable of. But it not set in stone some people have faster or slower prs in other events.

speed to break 15min 5k ? 5.55555555556 m/s

There are some 59.xx 400m guys or gals who have raced sub-15 5000m, but most 59.xx 400m athletes do not race sub-15 5000m. There are some 49.xx 400m guys who have raced sub-15 5000m but most 49.xx 400m guys do not race sub-15 5000m. I assume it would be near impossible to race sub-15 5000m without at least sub-70 400m speed.

Karissa Schweizer can run 14:25 but only 2:04 in the 800. The slowest 15 minute PRs are probably 60-2:10-4:40.

For me, went from 15:15 to 14:49 , my PRs that season (indoor, 200m flat tracks) were 1:55, 4:12 (DMR split, not an actual 1600), 8:37. I only ran two 3ks that season, and the 8:37 was the day after the 14:49, so probably could have gone faster.

I also ran a 3:55 1500 and 31:3x 10K outdoors later that year, if that gives you some idea. My training was very strength oriented, with very little focus on any one event unfortunately.

So that means I might have a chance of running sub 15? Current PRs are:

400 57

800 1:58

1500 4:03

5k 15:17

Every time someone asks a question like this, there's always some cheeto-fingered 50 year old balding man typing this response out, and there has yet to be a single time where it was funny

Yes you have a chance, although that will also depend on how old you are, and how long/what kind of training you've been doing to get to your current PRs.

For what it's worth, I did a 15-flat 5k off of 57/2:03/4:33 mile.

I'm surprised you can go 1:58 in the 800 with "only" 57-second 400 speed; that's an outlier performance.
