a sedentary man (hypothetical known to be)with sub13 5k potential
this guy has never have run a step his whole life and dont do any other sports. he is basically a couch potato, now he is suddenly motivated to train and hire you as his coach
you ramp up his mileage gradually to 25 mpw, what 5k time do you expect him to run?
what time do you expect to run his first 5k when sedentary?
what time 3 months laters on 25 mpw?
i guess
20:00 5k (when sedentary)
15:30 5k (3 months later)
if 1year later, still on 25 mpw with structured programme, a sub13:30 5k is possible?
what is your bet?
