Last night I did 5 x 1600m w/ 3:00 jog rest on a track. (The goal was 5:20 to 5:30 but it was just a ballpark figure coming into the workout.)
5:14
5:12
5:14
5:17
5:12
The second and third felt the hardest. I didn't feel like I settled into the pace. Conditions were drizzly and windy, low 50s.
What's a reasonable 10/12k race pace on the roads if I had to toe the line this weekend?
bump
6:15 for 10k?

That is hopefully too slow.
I raced 12k at 6:04 pace last year but didn't do this workout so cannot compare. My base is more "shallow" but otherwise I feel faster and stronger than last year. Maybe this workout is not a great indicator?

Running one mile flat out in 5:12 would indicate 5:55 ish pace fitness for 10k, so I have no clue what that poster is thinking.
No, I don't think this workout is very predictive because of the amount of rest, but I would certainly say you are in at least 35 minute shape for 10k.

That is encouraging thank you.
