Found this over at letsrun. I think he recently did a 24 min 5k and 12 of his buds bet him 100 pounds ($124 US bucks right now) that he couldn't. If he loses he gets their names tattooed on his body.

I think it might be too ambitious. The weight is gonna be a big factor but I would say 175 at his height should do it. I think sub 18 would come quick but after that it might be a tough process. Also has a 7 month old and is still living like a normal person with a job. I think that is prolly worth a min or more his PR (which is soft compared to his others. 14 flattish for his 3K time)
Mostly interested to see how often he runs a 5K all out and how many indicator workouts he tries. Also the weight to speed factor. I am hoping he does it just to learn a little more. Thoughts?
