^ Don't think I've ever ran a 5:20 mile in training
What sort of pace do you run intervals at (if at all)?
The paces are only ever guides - For me it's as much about having a specific pace that I believe is "best" that the actual pace itself. If you see what I mean.
NotThamesWater-
Understood.
I run on effort (hr), and any intervals are very unstructured (more like fartlek), so time for specific distance is not really a consideration. If I was to textbook train for a half or further then it'd be something worth me paying some attention to, although not something that particularly motivates me.

Target 5km and 10km paces look about right.
