Look up the definition of "sarcasm". Lance has run three sub five minute miles (5k) in a row AFTER swimming 1/2 mile and biking 15 miles. This was in a triathlon when he was a teen. He could probably run under 4 minutes.
no, he could never run a sub 4 now. never ever. running and cycling are two COMPETELY different sports. Lance woudl have to train A LOT...train meaning running training...to run sub 4 .
I was a runner for 20 years, now i am a cyclist. You don't even want to know how pathetic i run these days IF i happen to go out and jog for a bit. I train a lot, many more hours now than as a runner, but holy shit, do i suck in running now!!!! I doubt i would be able to run 43min. for 10k now, I used to run 33min. and i just competed in the women's version of the Tour de France. so no, running and cycling are two completely absolutely different sports and if you don't train running, no matter how great you are on teh bike, you suck at it, and even a Lance Armstriong would not be able to break 4 just like that.
cheers from france,
