I recently ran a half marathon about 4 and half minutes faster than I did the previous year. The conditions were pretty much the same. I haven't lost any speed; in fact, I think I'm a little faster at the short stuff than I was before. I haven't raced anything shorter than 10k for a while, and the 10K's were treated as workouts. How much can I expect to drop off my 5k time? 3k? 1500?

thanks

re: Young stud

My wife just shaved 5 minutes (5:01 actually) off her HM time today, and she took 45 s off her 5k last month. I'd guess 45-60s for 5k as a very optimistic estimate. If the HM improvement came mostly because of improved aerobic fitness, your 5 k time should be faster, but maybe not as much, maybe 15-30s. It's really hard to say without knowing more about you.
