It's funny you make that claim but are only 1:20 away from it.

Same with your friend who can do 30 . . . .

You probably only have to increase the number of slow miles you run per week to get to sub-20. That's the usual advice in r/running.

For 30+ pullups, I never said it was easy. A program I like is the Strongfirst Fighter Pullup program. Another is the Armstrong program.

Most people don't train for those goals explicitly and they aren't aware of the programming and other lifestyle choices that will take them there. There's a difference between easy and achievable.
