What do you think I can run for the 5k based on these:
•6x800 with 2 minutes jogging recovery averaging 2:20
•8x400 with 400 jogging recovery averaging 64
•4x1600 with 3 minutes walking recovery averaging 4:46
Do you think sub 15 is in the realm of possibility or no?
15:30 - why do you walk for 3 minutes during mile repeats? That's soft son... do a 2 min jog
15:15
What is your current PR? Mileage when running that?
My current PR is 15:44 running about 45 mpw
This was also a 5k split during an 8k

Your workouts show you have great speed and good endurance in comparison, but still better speed. The problem for predictor workouts for you then, is that given enough rest, you can rely on your speed, not endurance, which doesn't show how you'd fair in a 5k. for the 3x1600 to be accurate for page gauging, you need abouut 2 min jog (as the other poster said) and the ability to do a 4th at the same pace. I'm guessing on a good day you PR by 15+ sec, okay day you equal your PR or PR a bit, bad day is barely sub 16.
Good luck and update!
if I did those workouts, I'd run 14:40. But you're not me.
on paper everything checks out for 15:00ish, though the 400s are quicker than necessary. if you split 15:44 in an 8k and didn't blow up (hopefully under 25:30) then you can run 15:00.
To be fair, the 400s were supposed to be at goal mile pace. That 8k ended up being 25:33 so I finished fairly strong
