Hi, no pretty flat with a couple of gentle undulations
No wind either which helped a bit maybe
You may have measured a 1K or misused the online tool. Do it on a track. Someone with a 4:24 mile out of no specific training should be breaking 1:10 in the half.
If you have that kind of talent you would have been approached by a distance coach to join the XC team when you were in middle school. What’s your story?

I was a good quality rollerskating teacher for 15 years.
Not sure what this adds to what others said, but how old are you?
For comparison, I’m a genetically a mid distance runner. Ran the 800 in HS. In my late ‘40s I could run a 1:27 half but couldn’t break 5 in the mile at that time in my life.
Your initial post seemed plausible. Could be you’re just some genetic running freak and just never knew it? Plus, you ran the half marathons at a leisure pace, coming now where close to redlining it?
But this post is 110% trolling. WTF is a roller skating teacher? Kettlebell training? That’s it? No way you’re running a 4:24 mile at age 38 with zero running background.
