So after talking about running, working out, etc. in the office our 23 year old IT guy is convinced of the superiority of his natural athletic talent. He's about 5'9", 260 pounds, not muscular not obese, just a big round, wide dude. Says he played high school football, goes to the gym but mostly to tan and hang out and does P90X once in a while.
So we're going to to have a running race at the local track, I wanted to do it as me doing 1.5 miles him doing 1 mile. He wanted me doing 1 mile and him doing a half mile. So we settled on me running 1 1/4 miles and him running 3/4 mile. I figure I can cover the 1.25 in 6:15-6:30. So if he's doing 3/4 of a mile if he runs ~8:30 pace or better he's going to win.
Does he have a chance?
