Forgive me for not knowing master's times and estimating here.

20:27 is about 15-20 sec slower per mile than the women's Marathon record.

Are there 50 year old men that can run low 5's for 6km? I really have no idea.


What the hell kind of comparison is that? Linda Somers-Smith is a former Olympian in the marathon, and her marathon best from last year (2:36:33) age-grades to 2:15:59. I don't see even 40 year old men running close to that, age-graded or not.
