the standard is mutliply your total volume by about .6 and that's roughly the distance you can hold that pace. obviously plenty of caveats, like rest times make a big difference.
but in general i'd say 8x1k w/2' rest would be a better indicator of 5k pace. it's not going to differ massively from 6x1k of course.
No. Not for 5k. Even a 5x1k workout can be a good predictor of 5k race pace, due to race adrenaline. 6x1k should be even better.
