What would 4x1600 with a strict 60 seconds jogging recovery with splits of 5:03, 5:02, 5:01, 5:01 indicate for a 5k time? I did this workout by myself in about 45 degree weather with light winds.

Dumb workout.

Why waste you're time responding to an irrelevant part his question? It seems like you are just trying to make him feel stupid.
As for your question, I'd somewhere around 15:30 +-15 secs
15:50-16:10

LOL.
So this guy runs a broken 6400 at 15:40 pace with three 1:00 breaks in the middle and you come to this conclusion?
You are a coaching GENIUS.

Some people have this crazy idea that less than ideal weather can affect workouts and races.
Would you rather have too much information or too little when trying to answer a question?
F uck the OP, starting stupid threads like this.

It is crazy. You got that part right. Exactly how does knowing there are 'light winds' help you tell this guy what shape he is in? He doesn't tell you whether or not he did it on a track or what speed the winds are. It's not a matter of too much or too little information. It's it completely meaningless information. No one knows what "light winds" means or if it affected the workout.

+1
14:20 if perfect conditions with rabbits to the bell
If 45 degree weather with light winds, 18:35.
He ran mile repeats averaging 5:02. He likely started fast, ended with a kick. Didn't struggle through laps 8-9-10 when fatigue sets in and you can lose mental focus.
If he ran a 5k that day in those conditions is it hard to imagine he would average 5:05's.
Yeah you're right. He's going to magically run 4:40's as you all wish by some magic or mystic powers. Good luck & keep it real.

Who said 4:40's? I don't see any 14:xx posts, other than the troll dude above you mocking V3

Okay.
If you are suggesting 15:50 as a probably time just due to races being variable and not having your best race every time out...alright.
However, these questions of "what is my fitness" tend to presume good conditions on an optimal race day.
He ran mile repeats averaging 5:02.
In other words he ran significantly further than 5k at pace of 15:35 5k.
He likely started fast, ended with a kick.[quote]
How the hell did you draw this conclusion? Mile repeats tend to be run pretty even, and I certainly don't know many people that kick on their workouts, unless you mean the very last rep. Even that seems unlikely given the evenness of each rep.
[quote]Didn't struggle through laps 8-9-10 when fatigue sets in and you can lose mental focus.
In other words, his workout was run in a controlled, sane manner. Likely indicating that, if anything, he has something left in reserve. Athletes biting off more than they can chew and struggling to survive the workout rarely show very even, negative splits.
If he ran a 5k that day in those conditions is it hard to imagine he would average 5:05's.
Yes, very.
He just ran a very controlled FOUR miles, with the slightest of rest, in an average of 5:02. If anything, given an actual race and guys to push him, not to mention 5k is shorter than 4M, he will do better than that.
15:15 is a very realistic prediction, and depending on just how controlled this was even 15:00 is not totally out of the question.
