Typical Letsrun delusions about the running world.

At least 90% of people will never run a sub-25 5K. Being in the 10% that does puts you in the "serious" end of the spectrum in terms of running.


Granted Letsrun folks are delusional about non elite running but how about this:


Serious running: 30 mpw for at least 40 weeks per year for at least two years. At least one day per week doing something other than the long slow run.

Male, age between 16 and 40.


I'd say that 80% of such runners would go below 23 5k. So, sub-23 5k counts as a serious runner.

I honestly don't know. Is this reasonably calibrated?
