Not sure about this. For an average mid-distance guy like me, a 4:45 mile is no big deal, but running 6 minutes miles for an hour is extremely hard. In my experience, I can (barely) do it, if I train specifically for the event, but off mid-distance training, when I can cruise a 4:45 mile, there is no way in hell I can clock a 60 min 10-miler.
Have you tried it? As a kid I did it several times with no extra specific training.
