Not even close; the bell curve for human performance, at anything, is amazingly broad. Simply look at the disparity between the fastest time (for say the mile) in a World Championships or Olympic Games and the slowest; and figure that range for what, 20-30 athletes who make it? Then multiply that range by the human population of 7 billion people, knowing that all 6 999 999 980 of them are slower.
7 minute miles are outta reach for many people. 5 minutes? A dream.
Well, not to be mean but I am 12 years old and my mile time is a 5:38. So, if a 12 year old can that fast without puberty or a growth spurt then certainly the pros can.
