yeah, I should have included- for any repeats of 1600m or less (maybe even 2k), I am faster on the track. It's just those longer intervals where on the track I maybe start checking out mentally because of the number of laps

Yeah I am the same. I feel like when doing repeats on road I probably average I don't know 8-10 seconds slower per mile as opposed to similar workout on the track.Granted I haven't done the longer track intervals (IE > 1600, 2K) on a track recently.

I think all else being equal they're probably about the same. Tracks might be a tiny bit faster as a surface, but it's probably pretty negligible in most cases. Personally I'm always noticeably slower when I do repeats on the roads as opposed to the track, but that could be largely mental. Also it's pretty rare to find a pancake flat road, especially where I live. Even the flattest routes I know have at least a little bit of a roll to them.
It really needs to be asked, why the f*ck do you care?
Just curious...

All I know is anybody interested in this topic should try indoor rowing as a sport. If you're analytical and like crunching numbers the erg is a dream.
Look at this...
That was in reply to the question of ELEVATION
A 5k on a flat fast course is about 15 seconds slower than a track 5000m and 30 seconds difference for 10k/10000m
you, probably don't need, a comma, there.
I believe around 5 seconds per mile.
Of course, a road mile that's completely flat and straight is different than one w/ many turns. The new shoes also play a role- maybe 3 compared to normal spikes, but then 5 compared to super ones
For a flat, pancake flat course. Most road courses seem to be around 10 secs a mile for me
