I suspect, but cannot prove, that if you can walk (actually walk, not jog or run) 3 miles in 45 minutes you're probably as cardio vascularly fit as you'd ever need to be.

I suspect the same. None of my Sardinian relatives in their 90s has ever been for a jog just to log some miles, but they walk everywhere.

There've been studies that show walking speed is a decent predictor of longevity.

The problem with a 5K run as a test is that if you don't want to run, you're not getting a good time on it - if you can even manage it at all. You can have a decent, by Kyle's standards, deadlift and broad jump without training for the test.

I don't think that's the case for running even a relatively short distance like the 5K - if you don't have a running background, there's issues. Although 25% of the world record time is....not a run.
