That's possible. Most guys here went from a 5+ mile to sub 4 in just a couple of weeks after they joined this board.
If you're male, and that coach doesn't say the same thing to everybody, then it might be possible. Maybe he sees something that makes him think you're capable of much faster speeds.
But, yeah, it's more likely to be a scam.
If you are female, he is full of shit.
If you are male, and have good speed, fat to lose and decent form, it's certainly possible.
NOT POSSIBLE!
If you are completely untrained, it sounds plausible. If the coach has EPO, it sounds plausible. If you are recovering from an injury and have run a 4:40 before, it sounds plausible. If you've been healthy and training a lot already, I'd be skeptical

haha pretty much this^. If you've been training and are redlining at 5:55, it's doubtful you'll improve THAT much that quickly. But if you're on the 'couch to 5k plan' and are already knocking out a 5:55, then i'd say it is possible.
At your level I wouldn't pay Alberto Salazar to coach me. It ain't worth it. Save the money and go to Hawaii with your girlfriend.

Actually... I'll coach you for free if you send *me* to Hawaii with your girlfriend.
He means he's going to buy you a bike and teach you to ride it.
