Effective 5K Times

Jack Daniels (the running coach, Olympian, etc, not the whiskey) has a calculator on his website that converts run results into estimated times at various distances.  Below is a conversion of my run training times into 'effective 5K times'.  The top 33% of results are highlighted in green.
