About 19 5k/40 10k are my relevant times. 2.75 years running, last year-year and a half mostly 30-40 mile weeks, a lot of inconsistency before it. Is there any man under 30 who tries to be fast less successful at it than me?

There will always be someone slower than you. There will always be someone faster than you.
The only important thing is giving the best to your ability, whether it’s 4:00 pace or 14:00 pace. Otherwise - what’s the point?

You might be able to apply for the highest mediocrity award given that you are not extremely in either direction.

ok so here's the rough math
19:00ish 5k runner
avg training pace when everything is lumped in: 7:45ish pace give or take
35mpw x 7:45 =~ 270 minute
so you've spent 4.5 hours a week running over the past 1 - 1.5 years and are prob faster at 10k than 99% of the population
i'd say you're getting pretty incredible ROI
personally, based on you even posting this though, i think for your own self-confidence you should up your volume
consider your max running volume if you "lived the pro life" long enough to be around 12 hours
also remember the fibonacci sequence expressed in nature: in this context 38.2% and 61.8% are relevant
you're currently at that first node we see in nature, 4.5 hours out of a possible 12 is right around the 38.2 % mark where many will never push beyond
at this point, you want to work towards the 61.8% level, or roughly 7.5 hours of running a week
transition from 4.5 hours/wk to 7.5 hours/wk over the next year, then sustain it for another year and a half
then make a new thread how upset you are with your 2:50:30 marathon debut because you didn't run your goal of 2:49:59

I run my easy runs very slowly, to the point that you gotta add at least 45 seconds per mile to the total. So I guess that's 5-6 hours a weeks or so in the middle of the range.
I’m 31, not much older and just ran a PB (19:46). Been training for 1 year seriously (3 years just random jogging) and averaged maybe 40k a week this year (4-5 hours). I still care about getting faster (while not sacrificing the rest of my life)
So no. And there are probably much slower folks out there that put the same time

i've known men who probably fit your description, except i don't even think they could break 21 for 5k [they might have been a little older but not enough to really make a difference]. they were into jogging. one of their sons went on to run 5 miles in college XC in like sub-25:00. keep at it. work to improve your fitness. half marathons and/or marathons might be more enjoyable.

Saying "successfully" in my last sentence would have made it sound a lot better. I basically never proofread what I write on the internet, maybe I should.
