This sport is my life. I am certainly not the average guy and I was thinking that being able
to run a sub-19 5K in my 50s was pretty good. I ran nearly every day at that time and was a long-time coach.
I would have had a very hard time doing 60 seconds for the 4 0 0, unless I trained exclusively for that.
The average 40 year old could not break 20 for the 5K. There are a few naturals who could do it.
