I don’t think someone completely untrained can do 10’ / mile.

  Depends on what you mean by untrained. I think most men who exercise regularly and don't carry a ton of extra bodyweight, even with zero running, could bang out 1.5 miles at 9:40 pace. Couch potatoes, no.

    "most men who exercise regularly and don't carry a ton of extra bodyweight, even with zero running" - what's that supposed to mean? How do they exercise then when they are not running? I don't think many people who don't exercise running can do 1.5 miles in 9:40.

      It's 1.5 miles in 14:25, I think most people can handle that. There are plenty of ways to exercise that aren't plain running. Biking, skating, swimming, Tai chi...

Cycling, swimming, rowing, ball sports, team sports, weightlifting, ... > I don't think many people who don't exercise running can do 1.5 miles in 9:40. It's 1.5 miles at 9:40 mile pace; 14.5 minutes total. Much easier than 6:30 pace (what you're imagining).
