Everyone is Steve Prefontaine in this topic.

I have never done a timed mile. We did 1.5 miles when I was in the Navy for PT test. Id come in around 10.5 minutes which was fairly middle of the pack. All I knew was I had to be under 13:30. That is all I cared about.

I always played a lot of sports growing up and ran a lot during football and basketball but always hated just regular running.

awareness of Steve Prefontaine, and being in different to running is a very small segment of the Venn diagram. All I know is I was a decent runner in my competitive days, but Glob wouldve annihilated me.

and yeah, the guy who ran the three minute eight second mile would also have crushed me.
