As someone his age that has flirted with 20 minutes for a few years and broken it just once, it just smells. I know everyone is different, but if I could run back to back 5 milers at 6:40 and 6:48, in a workout, I'd be running sub 20 easily and probably close to 19 flat. And to me that's the key, they were workouts, not three race days in a row. I have a friend a few years older that runs times like that daily, but then he also runs sub 3 regularly.
The more he reveals his true ignorance about running the more I wonder about how legit his slower marathon times are given his own statements about how little training mileage he put in. I'm sure there are splits etc but as Kip followers know, there is more than one way to hit the mats.
