... which is still a 58.51% age grade for a 5k, and that's a misleading figure because that only includes a segment of people who actually voluntarily run.  I know the military distance is 1.5 or 2 miles, not 3.1, but still - a 7 minute mile is fast. But it's also only one of the events.  I know some people who can run 6 minute miles who can't do 26 pushups (I'm 32 y/o).  Before I started making it my business to stay draft ready, I couldn't do 26 push ups continuously.    The test is hard enough that I would guess that more than 90% of American men my age would not be able to pass it.
