Subject: RE: Never ran, can I do a sub 20 5k?
Body:

What are your height and weight? Do you have a running build? Its hard to tell since some people have natural aptitude for running and others don't. You could be a 15:30 5K talent guy or maybe a 25 minute guy; you just have to train properly and see what God-given talent you have. You have seven months to train so I bet you can beat 21:30. One of my college friends was a runner and wrestler in HS and he's a ~2:04 800 runner and 16:40s 5K runner with not too much training. (30-40MPW)

Is your cousin seriously that arrogant with a 21:38 5K? That's girl HS varsity type of times. Its a pace that is slower than my easy pace and I'm probably a below average letsrun poster. I can almost lap your cousin in a mile (if his 5K converts to the same level of mile performance) and I suck for letsrun standards. Sad. I kind of want to hear about you destroying him in a race with very limited training! Good luck!

I need to beat my cousin. He's a hobby jogger but thinks he's the stuff because he ran a 21:38 5k. Why, I don't know.

I've watched a lot of running and I've ran before but only as cardio when I wrestled DII. I'm in decent shape but I've never ran a race. He will be racing a local trail 5k in October that he got his PR on last year and I want to enter it and crush his hopes and dreams. Is it possible to get in sub 20 shape in that time and if so what will it take?
