A long time ago in a youthful life i was a 23 second 200m guy. Now I am near 29 seconds flat. Anyways...................................
Comfortably over 95% if that makes you feel better. Most folks over 40 or kids under 12 just don’t have the speed to run sub-30, and most in the 12-40 age range would still have to train seriously to be able to do it, which most folks don’t. High-schoolers or college kids is one group where the average person would easily get to sub-30 with even modest training.

Agree. But he didn't say "with training". This is straight off the street or couch. Solid 95% +. Only a couple of my entire Middle distance runners in 7th/8th grade can run 29. Which is to say its not just a good pace, you have to have some ability. Seems to be a ton that can run low 30s, but sub 30 seems to be a cut off for average joe.
