1. Wouldn't "First of all" have been 6 pages ago?
2. What if this isn't a new thread "made all the time," but instead it's just the same one from years ago?

God I hope I haven’t been replying to the same thread
Maybe 7x%

Not true. You'll get some guys with natural speed that could hit the 60 sec 400. You'll get some guys that keep in shape in other ways that might break 20 in the 5k. You'll see almost no one crack 5:00 in the mile.
This thread is old, but I agree 100% with this.
A sub 60 400 is easy as f***, I've run that in trainers way too many times to count. A 19:59 5K is slower than my tempo run.
But a sub 5 mile? That's in a whole different league. I've never even come close despite multiple attempts at it.
BTW, a 59" 400 wouldn't even get you on the frosh-soph 4x4 "B" team at my former HS. A 19:5x 5K would barely make the top 7 XC varsity squad...for the girls, that is.
We didn't have a single guy who could run a sub 4:58 1600 / sub 5 mile.
