3:59 1500 Time Trial, 5k Predict

Ummm....ever heard of 14:52?

50:20 for a 10 miler last fall? What the heck dude. That's pretty good.

I say 14:45-15:00.

Guessing though. It seems like your strength outclasses your speed by a long shot. 3:59 vs. 50:20 is quite a difference. Most 3:59 guys I know could only manage about 25-26 mins for 5 miles.

Thanks for the serious responses. I was hoping to run under 15:00. Like I mentioned, I had run 3:50 and 4:08 indoors in college, but those were both me at my best, and in 1500/Mile shape.

That being said, I never debuted an outdoor season under 4:00 for a 1500 and would usually just race into shape, so hopefully this was a good sign...

That's a pretty decent workout and a pretty good 10-miler. There's just not enough info though to make an accurate prediction. Under 15 for sure. I'd even say 14:30 is thinking pretty conservatively. I don't know, but if you went out in 69s - 70s and held that through 2-miles and then just go. After that, you'll have a better idea how to train for your next one.

14:50s? are you guys nuts?

50:xx for 10 miles is 5:0x/mi. you dont think he could run 4:45/mi for 3 miles?

dude, you've gotta be under 14:30 for sure. go out in 69s/70s and wait until 3k to push it harder.

3:59 for 1500 = 14:45 for 5000

50:30 for 10 mi = 14:30 for 5000

I predict 14:3x

Good luck!

Without a doubt sub-14:40. Especially how you ran that TT. I wouldn't be surprised if you ran sub-14:30.
