"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. | ||

> what's that supposed to mean? How do they exercise then when they are not running? Any other sport? 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). | ||

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... | ||
