Jogging for 14 mins at a 10min/mile pace is so far out from any high level athletics or excuse for genetics impacting it. Being unable to do this is being completely out of shape.
At run clubs, I see practically every novice join and do 3 miles / 30 mins at 10min/mile pace on their very first day or within 2-3 attempts.

I'm simply talking about my love of visual "fatbodies" that sometimes have 5x the running cardio of a, say, 5'8" 150lb male that looks like they could run circles around the heavier individual.
- somenameforme 7mo agoThis is like saying that every novice who joins a power lifting club can easily press 60kg as a warmup. That's completely true, but also completely irrelevant because of a selection bias. A novice power lifter is already going to generally be in the top fraction of a percent of all people in terms of strength and lifting ability. I'm not at all into running but I suspect it's the exact same scenario. It's just a selection bias. And also like running, genetics plays heavily into it.
