What can I run for 5k?????!?

fast..

I would guess about 15 flat right now, assuming you felt good on the 400's

I have a similar question and don't want to start a new thread.

So my last week...

Two workouts...a 5 mile tempo run, mile splits of 5:24, 5:22, 5:19, 5:24, 5:18

also a ladder 1600,1000,1000,1000,1600

splits of 4:56, 2:55, 2:57, 2:57, 4:53

Long run of 15 miles

75 miles a week(been doing between 70 and 80, averaging about 10 more a week than last year, where I had a pr of 15:26)

Any idea about what I should be able to run in 5k or 10k?

14:50-15:00 for the first guy

15:10 for the second guy, maybe faster depending on the rest for the 1600/1000 workout

it depends on race

but it is clear the first guy is very fit and will have a big race this weekend.

the first guy: 15:15

the second guy: 15:30

tempos are bad indicators of 5k performance.

I also don't like "ladder workouts"

do 5 by 1600m w/2min rec. and make each one 3-5 seconds faster. Do the last one "balls to the wall" effort to practice your kick.

DNF

Hey what about me? I'm a girl...40 miles a week. Tues track Thurs 8mile tempo runs with the boys, Sun long run in the mountains (11miles)

Track:

800, 1200, 1600, 1200 (last tues)

2:51, 4:21, 5:56, 4:21

(This tues) 1200, 1600, 2000

4:22, 5:56, 7:31

Very slow... you must be very slow!

How about me:

I run 60-70 miles/week and have a previous PR of 15:55. I recently ran this workout which was hard but not all out.

3 x (3 x 1000m) w/1:30 rec and about 3 min jog between sets

I ran them all between 3:04 and 3:07.

I've actually already raced, but I just want to see how off people are.

10k Runner-15:35?

What can I run off of about 50 miles a week with a recent workout of 3 x mile at 5:45, 5:43, 5:40 with one minute recovery?

17:15. of course it depends on how hard that was for you.

what about me??

5x1km

2.47, 2.51, 2.52, 2.52, 2.50.

PB = 14.20.

Am racing one in 9 days, I'll let you know if you guess right.

id say 15:25 for 10k runner

I'm slower than you dudes, but for god sake 19:10 5k for a girl isn't horrible. I probably just need to work on some more strength to get it to 18

Male, Age 47. Running 50-60 miles per week. Tempo runs of 5 miles at 6 - 6:10 pace, 5 x 1000 3:40-45 w/400 rests, long runs of 15-16 miles at sub-7s.

Mateo...What's slow to u?

"Thurs: just some sharpening with 200 striders at 32 rage"

rage-14:00

no rage-15:10

Quick question. I was planning on doing a 5K time trial this weekend as I don't have access to a race close by. What is a realistic time differential since I will be running solo? My best time from last season was 16:50 and I am in the middle of my base period now. Is +15 to 30 seconds about right considering I don't have any competition to motivate me?
