what would you say a 159 800 and 402 1500 equate to for a 5k? a 3k? if the 3k and 5k are your specialities?
just roughly, i understand it varies from person to person, etc., etc...but if a 5k guy runs 402 what should that mean he can turn a 5k in, in your opinion?
Damn, those are my PR's to the second: 1.59.6x and 4:02.97.
I ran 8:37 for indoor 3k and 14:59 for outdoor 5k, though I felt have gone faster in the 5k in better conditions/field.
"I felt I could have..." It was kinda windy and had one guy finish within 30 seconds of me...but my 3k was about as good as possible.
it depends if those 800 & 1500 times were in same season ( assuming peak thruout ) & were absolutely flat-out gun-to-tape
trying this :
off 1'59.0 / 4'02 ->~
54.0 , 8'45.7 , 15'27.2 , 33'13.1

there's a bit of "noise" in your numbers - did you run all those times in the same season ( probably not ? ) ?
assuming you did, your "best" times appear to be the 800 & 5k ( which we'll knock off a few secs as you said you were worth quicker )
i get a provisional best line of fit with
1'59.0 / 14'55 ->~
55.0 , 3'58.7 , 8'31.7 , 31'44.5
thinking about it some more, i'd wager your 1'59/4'02 were run early in your career & your 8'37i/14'59 later on
if 1'59/4'02 were run same season early in career ->~
54.0 , 8'45.7 , 15'27.2 , 33'13.1
you lacked the endurance at the time for subsequent 3k/5k pbs
few years latter, you concentrated on 3k/5k (?) & sacrificed some of your speed to do so, but gained endurance
suggest 8'37i is maybe an 8'35 outdoors & give you 14'55 & assuming both run in same season :
8'35/14'55 ->~
57.1 , 2'02.2 , 4'02.3 , 31'29.6

The 800/1500 were run one year and the 3k/5k the next. I hadn't "given up" any speed the next year, I just ran a few 2:00's and 4:04's; ran d3 and those times and my PR's there actually won every race over the distance, whereas I was beat in both my 3k and 5k PR's.
If it helps at all, the year after that I ran a 53.6 400m, but couldn't break 17:00 in the 5k by that point.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Rest in Peace Adrian Lehmann - 2:11 Swiss marathoner. Dies of heart attack.
I think Letesenbet Gidey might be trying to break 14 this Saturday
Running for Bowerman Track Club used to be cool now its embarrassing
