So i did 6 by 1 mile solo on the track w/70 sec recovery.
4:48 4:39 4:44 4:40 4:36 4:34
Was comfortable, not kicking it down. Can i break 29:00? 28:45?

If you can do that workout, you should have an idea of your own capabilities. You didn't jsut stumble off of the couch and run 6 x mile in 4:40. You obviously have raced before and run many workouts.
Seriously, what was the point of your question? You even have it narrowed down to a 15 second window. Are you just looking for confirmation on what you think? If so, no one here will know what you're capable any better than you do. Do you know so little about running that you think we can make a prediction based off of one workout?
Why are you destroying yourself in training? Why is that so many of you take such short recovery when doing mile repeats?
and then you wonder why you guys struggle in your races.
Maybe because this was an aerobic threshold workout?
under 29:30.
My best workout ever:
4:43, 4:38, 4:33, 4:28, 4:23. 5 minutes rest, absolutely killed myself.
2 weeks later ran a 29:45.
I think I could have been close to that workout given your rest vs. times.
I say 29:26
Keep us posted.
Were they mile repeats, or 1600 repeats?

This response was bang on. I mean cmon dude, how could we possibly predict your time better than you given the kind of times you are running. As a 33:10 10k runner, I can predict very accurately what Im capable of running.......a sub 30 min. guy, who is in a completely different league than me, would know that much more.
Question is: why are you asking us then?
I've done 6xmile many times, it's pretty much a staple workout and I've only ever averaged low 4:40's at altitude but with much more rest than you're getting. My PR is in the 28:30's so ball park I would guess you could run under 29 maybe into the mid 28's. Good luck!
Why did you run :48 on the first one? Given the rest, I would say under 29:00.
real men only do a minute. you can go long recoveries if your a pansy. you dont rest during race bud
let me spit some flava in yo ear son...all you gots to do is keep the funk alive..yo times be real smoove, those splits be tight but you gots to recognize that speed alone doesnt drop the hammer, yo hand drops the hammer and after you do dat, you gets to rollin on dem dare streets like a mafaaaaa ya dig? Thats my two cents..I just be spittin stupid ahh info that 99.99% of dees letsrun forest creatures so dont be mad at if I spit the flava..now Renalto Canova, Brad Hudson or some other REAL authority THAT is worth reading so until I read something with some true meaning...I keeps spittin flava in all ya'll ear ya heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard!!!
That's a pretty intense workout given the rest. If you check out the daniels tables you better be qualifying for nats soon, if you haven't already. I must agree with the above posters though, if you're running this kind of shit, you have to be half retarded to not know about what you can run. This kind of thread is expected for someone trying to break 18 in a 5k, not from you!
28:50

I always found that 4x1 on 60 sec. and take the average would be close to my 5k. I have done fewer 6x1 but 2-4 seconds slower than average mile usually indicated 10k pace for me.
Depending on why you ran 4:48 the first time (still warming up, getting going), you might be able to through it out as far as the average is concerned.
Given that I say 29:00-29:15

Don't be so quick to make conclusions.
There are people faster than that who are still uncertain of themselves. What if he was a 1500m runner who has moved up in the last year or so? What if he has a new coach and this is a new workout? etc.
Having the talent and background to do a certain workout in a certain time doesn't make a person completely knowledgeable. The person who does 6xmile in 6minute pace may have more experience and more of a clue than the person who averages 4:40.
He should probably ask his coach as well.
Anyway, based on just this info, I'd say 29:15 ish.

This guy's rest was much smaller, and you said you absolutely killed yourself. That's probably not the point of a workout, especially this one.
If it was comfortable like he says, I give OP under 29. Hell, 28:49.92.
The fact that idiots like yourself even believe this guy did this workout is beyond my fathoming. If you can run 6xmile in 4:40 you have obviously been around the sport a while and are not an amateur. If he was actually this good, he would know what he could run based off of that workout. The word ACTUALLY should've stood out to you there. I have done similarly the same workout but averaged 4:45 off of 80 secs and knew that I was atleast in 30 flat shape. It's not rocket science. This guy is a douche and those that believe him....well you're right there with him. I'd give the OP 37:40 cause he sure as hell probably cant even get a women's regional qualifier.
College teammate of mine in 1994 did 6x1 mile in about 4:40 average on a dirt loop (3 min rec) Was running 90 mpw and only managed 30:54.
He was killing himself in workouts, however.
I have no way of knowing whether or not the guy is lying. My post is going on the assumption that he's telling the truth. I could be saying the same thing about your claim to having averaged 4:45 with 80s recovery.
There are multiple scenarios that could contribute to his uncertainty. Maybe he has a very good idea of what he can run and just wanted other opinions for fun.
The fact that you resort to calling others idiots without knowledge of them is beyond my fathoming. Clown.
