But i do like the way you think. I picked up running last year and could probably outrun anyone of my similar build.

My max bench is about 275 right now, it used to be over 300. I dropped weight on purpose and lost some strength. I dropped 15lbs last year from March to July and plan to drop another 5 this year, at least for some time.

The longest run I have done so far is 8 miles at about an 8:15 avg. I am training for a half marathon in May and hope to average 8:15 for that. I also want to be able to run a 5K in under 21:00 this year which I think I may be able to do right now.

My goal this year is to run the half marathon in my goal time and be able to bench at least 275 3x.

I am 5'11 and 180lbs so I think those are respectable goals. There will be stronger dudes and faster dudes and some that are both, but that should be a good combo.

You should get 5K in 21:00 pretty easy as long as there are not massive hills.
