My 5k PR is 18:08. The opposing argument was that Usain Bolt is a quality athlete, and that he is in shape to run at least 17 or 16 minutes. But the man is like 100% fast twitch fiber, and he probably weighs well over 200 pounds. I think I could take him.
Well, if you could get at least a 100 meter lead on him with 50 meters to go, you might just nip him at the line. I remember a similar question from someone about whether they could beat Floyd Mayweather (the boxer), who is also big-time fast-twitch, but who does training runs in reportedly decent times.
