Ask the 5 foot 4 inch flagpole. The little man once weighed over 190 lbs

I'm betting pretty fast. 180 pounds isn't THAT heavy for a 6' guy.
When I was in my 30s and peaking at 181 pounds (though still running), I ran a 21:something 5k. Disgusted with that, I later got back down to 133 pounds and ran 16:48. Have been up and down with weight and times since. I'm currently in the 150s and am planning to get down to about 135 again.
When I was training hard, but young (17-18): 2:00 800 and sub 16:10 5k. When older (late 20's) but not training hard, around 85 min for the half-marathon. I've often wondered how much faster I'd be by just losing the weight.
I weigh in at 185. 6'1" PR's are
17:20
36:30
1:21
Ran them as a Master. Still trying to improve.
Paul McMullen?
I don't have all the splits you're interested in, but I'll chime in anyways. At 6'4" and 195lbs I ran a 1:31 half marathon in a half IM tri. Not sure what I could've done if I was fresh. Maybe low 1:20s?
Your mom never complained
If I'm not mistaken, New Englander Eric Beauchesne was very close to that size in his prime. He certainly didn't have the stereotypical runners build.
He won the Cape Cod marathon 3 times (all under 2:30), and I believe he was running around 15:00 for 5K and 1:10 for the half marathon.
Torbjorn Sindballe won a half Ironman several years ago, running a 1:11. I've seen sites that list him as 80-81kg.
im 6 foot and between 180-190. and have run 4:20 1500, 16:12 5k 34:49 10k 1:16 half and 2:46 full.
I ran 34 10K at 175 and 36 10K at 210 lbs.
I ran 17:24 a couple weeks after I started running, I was 185 lbs and 6'1", and a 10k a couple weeks later in 39:43 . . . I think the limitations are probably way faster than those times. If your body is composed right 180lbs and 6ft can be pretty skinny
Wow, only 2 minutes slower at 210 !
