There are some special athletes who can do it, but the average non-runner can't do it.

The fastest mile I've run recently is right at 5:43 (January), and I don't know if I can break 20 or even 21 right now until I can resume speed workouts. The injuries to my heel have severely limited me. By the way the 5:43 had me gagging and puking but for an old guy it's not the worst thing ever.

I've basically limited myself to seven minute miles to avoid unnecessary injury. And that places one in the 22 minute range.
