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.
y'all hating on me with this, but then we find out i was spot on. queue "i'm not surprised mfers". am kinda surprised more of you haven't seen this pattern.
6 x 1k @ 2:58 w/2' rest and my estimate is that's what he could run for about 3600 meters.
his 3k pr? 2:57 pace
probably around 15:20-15:40 shape rn/recently
with a solid summer, sub-15 feels like a lock given the OPs aerobic capacity is not very developed yet
