6x1k off of 2 minutes jogging rest: Is this potential 5k pace?

6x1k is good enough to calculate off only 2" rest. of course 7x1k is better but 6x1k is 99% as good.

go for 14:50 but don't go out in a 2:4x and blow up

This is what I’d say.

8x1k off of 3 minutes rest seems to be the classic 5k pace workout, so I’d imagine if you bump 1/3 of the recovery off and have that recovery be less than fulfilling (I know 2 minutes at 8:00 pace is not helping me recover a ton) it’s gonna come out to near 5k pace.

I’m sure it’s in the ballpark of a sub 15:00 5k.
