If I ran a 4:58 mile, what would be a 5k time to aim for? Also what are your mile vs 5k prs?

mile - 4:53
5k - 17:04
It depends. But I think a fairly standard conversion would be like 17:30
4:11/15:03 - not exactly even but I am a 'bigger runner' that can put together decent times from 3k-8k. But what is it with you phish guys? Isn't running the wrong passion for you? How old are you?

I just turned 16.
I use the 1 minute rule, meaning that as a 4:38 miler, I shoot for 5:38s in a 5k

Yeah, so someone like gallen rupp should be going 4.55ish pace (15.20ish), right? Mile PR + one Minute
In conclusion, dont use the one minute rule
As most younger runners are underdeveloped aerobically and tend to go out too fast, I'd say something in the low 18s, a litter slower if you are racing on the road or XC.
My PRs are 4:21/14:58.
4:36.4, 16:09 (Was the only one I've run on a track)
Here is an interesting calculator I found on letsrun some time ago.

It doesn't always work for me; although I consider myself to be better at distance, my 16:00 3-mile and 10:20 3200 don't come close to my 4:34 1600. Could be because I always run the 32 after the 16
I ran 4:52 1600 freshman year, xc sophomore year i went 16:37, even with being injured most the year. I think 16:20-16:30 would be a good goal.

Maybe pro runners shouldn't be using the same rule as 16 year olds who run 20 miles a week
4:03/ 14:31
4:09 15, 16:41 5K
yeah...i don't get it either
Check
to convert times from one distance to another.
A 4:58 mile is equivalent to a 17:04 5K (5:30 / mile) according to runworks.
My mile is 5:46 and my 5k pr is 20:39 (6:38 / mile), although runworks indicates my mile time is quite a bit stronger than my 5k
Looks like, on average there is about a 30 second difference between mile pace and 5k pace.
You can also compare two 5ks run at different temperatures or having different elevation changes or different altitudes using runworks.
17:01 5k
04:43 1600

Haha, you would have to break 4:10 if you want a shot a going under 16 for 5k.
For most distance runners it is more like the 30 second rule for races and 60 seconds for tempo runs.
For the typical HS runner who is not developed very well aerobically, take your mile time + 30 sec and shoot for that as your season goal. For aerobically well developed runners, take your mile time +25-30 sec and that is what you should run right now. For elite distance runners, they can usually run their mile/1500 PR + ~15 sec.

I'm guessing you're thinking about a 5k in XC rather than on the track?
On a fairly fast course, I'd say 18:00ish if you're more of a miler, though 17:25ish if you are more of a 5k guy...
