I just did a 5x2000m workout in 6:39, 6:38, 6:38, 6:38 and 6:37 with 3 minutes rest. I was also solo in this workout. What do you think I can run a 10k in? My goal race is in 2 weeks, I was thinking about 33:30 or so. I am currently running 80 mpw and ran a 15:59 5k 3 weeks ago. Thanks.

My guess is 33:30-34:00. Good luck.
i definately dont think you could run under 35.00.
I think 33:15-33:20 is about right.
yeah, you should be able to hit your goal time off that workout
If I can't run under 35 off of that, I'm very interested to know what my workout should be to run 33:30.

Your workout totaled 10K in 33:10 with 3 minute breaks every 2K. I'm sorry to break it to you, but there's no way you run 33:30 ore even 35:00 off that.
I ran 35:08 at a point where I wouldn't be able to come close to doing that workout. With that mileage I think you'll be in the high 33s/low 34s if things go well. Anything could happen though. Don't believe the haters.
i think that you can run 35 or under. i ran like a 34 and i never had a sub 16 5k. that workout probably would have killed me too.

There's no hating involved. How does a 33:10 10K with 3' rests every 2K translate to a continuous 10K in high 33s? It simply cannot happen.
33 minutes
I think I'm in 35min shape, but I couldn't do that workout right now. I say high 33min ish, not near 33min flat, unless, the workout felt "hard tempoish".

please. that\'s a pretty common workout to show 10k potential and the 3 min rest is recomended. the fact that you didn\'t slow down shows you didin\'t die so it was at the right pace. i did mile repeats 5 at 2:45 rest 2 weeks ago and did them in about 5:27 sand i could\'ve gone on to 2,000\'s. so a little slower pace than you ran by a few seconds a mile. and I ran 33:45 running the last 2.5 miles by myself and winning the race. my guess is you\'ll be about 33:15-20 like someone else said.
I will go out on a limb and say that you can do 5x2000m in 6:39, 6:38, 6:38, 6:38 and 6:37 with 3 minutes rest.

What're you talking about? He ran 15:59 for 5k. If nothing else, that alone predicts a 10k time between 33:00-34:00.
I ran an 8k tempo in 32 minutes the other day. Then I ran an 8k race in 30 minutes. Magic, eh?
Do you understand how interval training works? You don't reproduce the race in training, but run portions of it.
32-34 minutes.
I can do that workout without much difficulty right now but I could not break 33:30. In fact my 10k PR is 33:48 so I would be very hard pressed to break 34.
Obviously my experience does not impose any limitations on this guy, it's just one more data point. But then again, that's why these "What can I run after doing this workout" threads are not very useful.
I definitly could have done another one, these felt controlled. I was always under the impression that you should save big efforts for races, should I change my strategy?
29:40, youll probably be able to pull something out of your ass
