    If I did my first ever 5K run in 37 mins at 47 years of age and I was on purpose trying to go slow since it was my first time then of course someone can easily do it in 20 minutes.

    meant km yes lol

    obviosly not miles ;o
    Yeah, um, as I said, the former OLYMPIC athletes I know can do that. It's unlikely someone like you can.
    Sub 20 min times are hardly restricted to olympic athletes.

    True.

    But it's unlikely someone who began a year ago as the OP described himself has reached that level so quickly. It is NOT an easy thing to do and it doesn't happen that quickly.

    I started running in January of this year. I can run 5K in little over 24 minutes if I push myself. I'm 39.

    What's so unlikely about it?

    Were you 350 pounds seven months ago?

    I was around 212 pounds. At around 195 lbs, I could run @ 8 min/mile.

    Why do you find this so impossible? Do you race at all? You do realize young people can run really well, right? Crickey, check the site I gave you and look up the young people's times.

    And check the Boston Marathon qualifying times...
