Can any male with enough training in his athletic prime achieve the world record times for the woman? Assuming he's not too short or too tall and weighs around 60 kilograms give or take 15 kilograms.
From the 800m to marathon:
800m 1:53
1000m 2:28
1500m 3:50
Mile 4:12
2000m 5:23
3000m 8:06
5000m 14:11
10000m 29:17
3000m steeplechase 8:52
Half marathon 1:04:51
Marathon 2:15:25
Can any male with enough training achieve these times?
Moran. Even Caster hasn't broken any of these.
Any man? Well, hmm a healthy man, training for his best even has a chance at one or two of those times.
There are healthy mean at 60 kg in their teens and 20s who can't break 20 for 5K regardless of training (so no).
I can do the 800 and the 1000. But ABSOLUTELY NOT the marathon.
Women, as a group, will have a bigger range than an individual male. But I so think that every male should be capable of training to the women's record in their best event.
I was maybe a "sub-elite" high school runner and peaked at 4:01 for 1500m and 31:00 for 10k. If I had the motivation and was injury-free through college and into my ate 20s/early 30s I might have had a shot at the 10,000m, half and marathon times. The others would have been a stretch for me. And I pretty easily beat the majority of runners from my city, who actually trained and competed. None of them would have had a shot at these times, to say nothing of the vast majority of people who never even tried to run. For every outlier soccer player who actually could train to beat some of these times you've got what, 1000, 10,000 average guys who couldn't hold the 10,000m pace for more than a couple of laps--with training.
we see enough variations of this question wrote:

They haven't put in enough mileage than. Arthur Lydiard 100 miles per week.
No. Most dedicated male runners who train diligently from high school into their late 20s will still never achieve those times. I'm one of them. You can't choose your genetics.

WTF who tf ran 1:53
In practice I ran a 2:23 kilometer which is my defacto personal record for that distance.So with the right track meet and after I'm done building my base I think I could do everything from the 800m to 5000m and steeplechase off of my base phase with no track work.
Of course not. Is this a serious question?
Good for you. Would you care now to respond to the question?

So you basically just wanted to humblebrag?
Of course not. I don't even know what more there is to say. Just looking at the marathon and the half, we had well under 200 qualifiers for the marathon at the last OT and the standards were slower than the women's records. Do you really think that all the guys who came up short of qualifying weren't training enough?
at the marathon, the B standard for entry into the 2016 US Olympic trial was 2:19, the IAAF standard for entry into the games themselves. to suggest that all men could do this, "with enough training," implies that anyone running 2:20 isn't trying hard enough, so I would have to say no, most men could not run 2:15 "with enough training."
in the UK, there are only around 230 men ever who have broken 1:48.5 for 800m, so I would imagine that 1:53 would be beyond over 95% of UK men, even if they had the time and resources to train for it.
Cheers.
Pathetic. Why are the male:female athletic comparisons necessary? Are you trying to inflate your ego?
You remind me of those flat-earth types who seriously think anyone can break the 5k WR if they train hard/smart enough.
I don't know if I ever could have run a 2:15 marathon.
The shorter ones I hit.
The 5 was likely.
The 10 would have been a stretch.

Do you feel better about yourself now that you’ve stated the completely obvious conclusion that men are physically superior to women? Are you that devoid of self worth that you have post about it on a message board?
