I am 58 years old and back in school I ran a 4:04 for a mile in my PE Class. I started running about 2 years ago again and recently got my 5k time under 22 minutes running 21:42 for a 5k. My question is based on my current 5K time is it a realistic goal to run under 4:00 at 60 years of age?
The average 60 year old is not running a mile. In fact, the average 60 year old is not even running. I'm pretty sure you're trolling, but just in case you're not and are just being crazy, the world record in the 60-64 age group in the mile is 4:49. If you want to go ahead and try to break 4, go ahead. However, the odds are very, very, very heavily against you :)

Do your research I am pretty Sure President Joe Biden did break 4:00 or was very close to it while a member of the Harvard Track Team. He has incredibly athletic jeans. I also know for a fact that his Son Hunter served as a US Navy Seal.

You are aiming too low. If you ran 4.04 in a school PE class you are at least capable of 3.40 at 60.
