why is that so hard to believe?

it is a requirement in the u.s army to do 5 miles in around that amount of time.

no its not.  the physical test you take in the army is a 2 mile run.  and the time alloted to finish it gets longer as you get older.

"5 miles in 20-30 mins"

lol

It's VERY possible, most nights I will walk 5 miles in just about an hour, if he's running, he would probably cut that time in half!

i'm sure he's estimating the time he runs and the distance.  What kind of jackass would know exactly, unless they compete in running.

add the ability to divide something else getbiggers lack

5 miles in 20 minutes is 5 consecutive 4 minute miles. Fastest mile time ever is 3:46 about. Clearly, it is not outrageous to assume there are few people on this planet who could run 5 4 minute miles.. if any

5 miles in 30 minutes is 5 consecutive 6 min. miles. While this possible, it is only possible for someone at the top of their running game. This is NO EASY feat coming from someone who used to run cross country. I used to easily run two miles in under 12 minutes (two sub 6 miles) and I definitely could not run 5 consecutive 6 min miles.

And I googled the Army requirements for a RANGER -- I'm sure tougher requirements than the normal army cannon fodder

2 mile run in running shoes in 15:12 minutes or less. That's 7minutes 36 seconds a mile. Far cry from what Bui is doing.
