Vivek Ramaswamy Columbus Turkey Trot 5 mile

Good.

Since when does letsrun approve of 9 minute miles and foreign talent??

9 minute miles is not running

47:09 for 5 miles is 9:26 pace.

I know this intended to be a "joke," but he was born in Ohio.

Anyway, the time show an ok level of fitness for a middle aged dude who has a lot going on.

What is the point of asking good or bad? You have his ranking already. That is exactly how good he was that day amongst people who race, which is already significantly better than most of the population that doesn’t run at all.

That that was overall time. Chip was 8:58

Not great of course but not bad

keep in mind 70% are obese / overweight

At least he didn't DNF like he did with DOGE.

Tim Waltz ran 10k in under 47 and he is 61.

Over a mile behind Tim Walz!

Personally would rather be fit and healthy and chasing the sub 2:30 dream while making 400k/year than be a billionaire and so unfit.

Do these people have no shame? I really don't understand why people accept being so out of shape... Smh, that's why 70% are obese or overweight. Vivek probably falling in this bucket (overweight)

He's actually not in bad shape and his time wasn't that bad but he's a dbag.

still not american

I could see why one would think he’s not American, since he’s a scientist and was high performer academically. But he is very American since he is one by birth and a nutjob conservative.

Anyway, decent time and he probably was just having fun, not racing. TIL he was a nationally ranked tennis player in high school.
