hello folks. Did 20 x 400 workout today, averaged 73.7. What 5k shape am I in right now? Going into my senior year, running 80 mpw, already had two workouts this week so body is tired. What 5k could I run right now, and what 5k could I run “fresh”? Thank you.
How did you recover between intervals?

Yes, this is key. Time of your interval and activity during it? (Note: "Intervals" are the pauses between work bouts.)
1 min standing recovery

According to your 20*400 training , your current 5k time is around 15:30.
Thank you, I got it, now.
15:44 on the track
Careful with the intensity OP if this is your 3rd workout of the week. 20x400 isn't 5k specific & it would be good to know how you felt during the workout. Was this a best average kind of workout or something closer to volume 400s @ T. I agree with what has been said -- probably something like 75s on the track for 5k. Could be a little slower or faster depending on your other workouts.

Hi! If predicting your possible 5000m time just out from the 20 X 400m with a minute rest it should be something like 15:30- 15:40, but we don`t know your present lactate threshold level so out from that difficult to give a more precise prediction.

Didn’t feel all out, or like threshold. More like a controlled effort of an introduction to vo2max work. could’ve done more reps if I wanted. Also, what would more 5k specific sessions be like, and why wasn’t 20 x 400 not 5k specific?
