Look at your (imaginary) times for the (imaginary) races you've run in. You can maintain a faster pace over a shorter distance if you must. That's how the human body works, even when it's some imaginary human body or the imaginary ex-wife of that imaginary person on the internet.
Any person who can run a 26:00 or so 5K can run a 4:00 half mile. No exceptions. People don't have some maximum speed that they can't exceed, but which they can maintain for 25 minutes.
You would know this if you were actually a runner and not just making up times from stuff that you have read on the internet.

Wrong and you are just proving yourself to know nothing about running. Being able to run a 26 min 5K does not guarantee a 4 minute half. They are completely different distances. Perhaps someone has trained themselves to run 8:25s (whatever that 5K time equates to) and developed the aerobic capacity to do so without ever developing their fast twitch muscles or anaerobic capacity to go faster. They then take the first two hundred out way too hard and hit an early wall. Couple that with an extraordinary effourt on my part and the result is extremely plausible. And a matter of fact. If you don't believe ask around the Chicago running community (that's where you are, no?). The story is legendary.
As for my prowess or lack thereof, (1) running is not my primary sport; (2) within recent memory I went to the World Championships in my primary sport on merit, twice. I am sure with your massive running knowledge and the prowess it implies you have probably been to the USATF championships a few times in the last several years, in the 800, no?
