Always athletic, but never ran until I was about 30. Without training for the mile or any real targeted run training, ran my one and only mile for time around 35 at 4:20. I am 40 now and would guess with a little effort would be about the same.
You think you'll run a 4:20 at 40 without specific training and a little effort. Do it. That is fucking fast. Most high schools mile records (or 1600) are right around that time. Hell, show us a video of a 2:10 880; we'll give you the benefit of doubt that you can keep it up for the 2nd half.
