Yes.
Use the VDOT or McMillan calculators, it would be good for you to learn how.
Absolutely. Your fitness level translates to a 5:05-5:10 mile. Should be no problem
Mcmillan calculators are not accurate.
Your three mile time is comparable to 5:10 according to Jack Daniels. However, there is not always a direct connection between mile and 5 k performance. If you are an endurance trained athlete and have no specific middle distance training, you might run just 5:15. If you have good basic speed and specific mile training, you could be at 4:45 or faster already...
American men regularly now run sub 13 5k and sun 27 10k but marathons stuck at 2:07. What gives?
