Endurance; Vitality; Physical Health; Longevity

I have strong feelings about health, especially as it relates to activity levels and preventable chronic disease. I have complete empathy for people stuck in a challenging health situation. I have been there. But I hold out hope that many if not most people (though I would never say all) can make small changes to move in the right direction and take control of their health, to some degree. I believe in you.

Is it reasonable to assume that the average 50 year-old American cannot run a 10-minute mile? 8-minute mile? Why not?
