I’d trip over my cane about the 3-yard mark. I don’t stumble fast either.
One of my coworkers picked it up again in his 50’s after having not done it since HS. We’d hired a woman about 20 years younger than him that did ultras and they hit it off. They both do ultras now and are married :-)
I don’t believe I could ever run at that pace, for any distance.
In High School I did a 5:15 mile, not fast, but I was just getting going.
My PR marathon of 3hr 40min works out about half the speed of the 4:34 mile pace!!!
For the mile man carry(one of ~equal weight) I could finish in the top 5 of the Battalion.
Guessing more slow twitch than fast twitch.
