Yeah I’m going to have to call BS on this one. Based on your post below, in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=514709) - it hardly sounds like you just upped from the couch and ran a 5k. You may not have trained for running specifically, but to say there was no training involved is likely not true.
