he could have a 5k time literally double that and still be right
He probably has an age graded PR. Like 23 mins at 73 y/o….kinda like yours.

pick whatever number you'd like for my 5k time, guy who thinks that rest periods will have no impact on how one recovers from a workout

you lowballed me, i'm a 50 minute 5k runner.
i do 6x1k @ 10 minutes per k and it's not hard at all

Sorry about that. :(
soft serve - quit trolling and being an a$$hole and let us have an actual good running thread on here for once.
mods please nuke this dude. he's contributed nothing other than heckling.
I just did 8x800 with 2 mins rest, averaged 2:42 without too much straining, but there's no way I'm in 16:45 shape. I would take results of 5xk or 6xk with a grain of salt, or as some others said :90 rest might be more applicable.
5 reps or 6??
1:30 rest or 2:00?
You guys are getting this all wrong.
These workouts can ALL have a role for a 5k runner, depending where you are in the season and what you are trying to train:
3-8 x1000
With rest from 1:00 to 3:00+.
At paces from 3000m to 10,000m pace.
If you don't get this and are looking for a "best 5k workout" you truly don't know what you're doing.
So Daniels plans his Interval workouts with approx 1 to 1 recovery.. so 5-6 x 1k in 3;30 would have up to a 3:30 recovery.... Why so many here wanting shorter recoveries? Is it because you want it to be more of a "race predictor workout". and if so when would you use Daniels style workout vs the "race predictor workout" with the less rest.
For me...
5-6x1000 w/ 3' rest = 3200 pace
5-6x1000 w/ 90s-2' rest = 5k pace + 1-2s per mile
5-6x1000 w/ 60s or 200jg = 5k pace
6 x 1k @ 5k pace is a classic workout. Maybe do it twice in a build. Once with something like 2:00-3:00 rest and once with 1:30 rest. Paces should be the same. You know you're more fit because you can hit race pace with less rest.
