I consider myself above average in terms of athletic ability. I was all state in HJ and walked on at an SEC school. I've benched 265lbs. I'm in my mid 20s now and am probably 20 lbs overweight (185 is a what I'd weigh if I ran over 30 miles a week and did other stuff). I'd say I'm probably in the top half of American males in their 20s even now. There's no way in the world that I could run close to 60 minutes for 10 miles. Ever.
Good for you lard ass. Nice of you to miss the entire point. No one's saying it's impossible. But to say that the average person can do it just means you aren't paying attention. Again, go to your local running club and you will find all but a handfull that aren't even close. Then to throw in the "it's easy, just gotta train"...no sh*t Sherlock. Thanks for that little gem you smug Harry Kooter
You're the one who is making this about what an average runner could do. The OP asked what a good time was. Good is better than average.
My point was that when I first started running again, I was a pretty average guy. I wasn't a 145 lb waif, as you put it. I'm still not. I've never been a standout at any level that I've run at. I consider myself to be a good runner. No better, no worse. My times therefore, are what I would consider good times. This is what the OP was asking for.
By the way, there's really no reason to get so upset about an anonymous post by a random guy on a pretty non-emotional topic. You should really save your outrage for a time when it's a little more warranted.
