How fast do you think a runner with little talent or biologically not optimal for distance running could run a 5k if he ran consistently for years?

Try the Greek run in New Orleans this weekend and find out.
Well I live on the healthy side of the Atlantic it’s quite a long swim haha.
Such a person is unlikely to run consistently for years. But maybe for a $1M prize to inspire dedication, most could break 30:00 for 5K after a few years.
honestly? fast enough that if at that time in the future you told the average person you had little talent and weren't biologically optimal for running they wouldn't believe you.
4:30/km or 22:30.
Mate I mean, the average human, with competitive training, I mean what human beings are engineered to be able to run over the 5k
I read a study about this a few years back. They estimated the running potential of men and women from a wide variety of countries between the ages of 18 - 47 for the 100 meter, 5k and marathon.
The estimated median time for men in the 5k was 18:53 with a standard deviation of 1:57.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
