Yes, easily. Any full grown male should be able to do that.

That's really good for a 10 year old though.

I'm only 5'9" with small strides and ran track for football so I tended to stay more built for football. Nowadays I run and bike a lot more and eat much heavier so I am 20-30 pounds lighter than high school. If my lumbering self could do a 400 meters in ~ 55 seconds then (not particularly fast), I think with some training for that distance, I could go under a minute.

When I ran competitively, my best time was 53 seconds.

I was first alternate on my high schools 4 X 400 relay team.

800M was my event though.

Now? Hell no. I'd probably throw up just attempting it.

When I was in high school? Yes. I think I usually ran around 55 seconds in track. Not great by any means but I never really cared about my time because you feel like you're dying after.

That is extremely fast for a 10 yr old girl.

These are my facts:
in high school on the track team, I was 49 second 400 m, or quarter mile.
IF I train now, I'm in my 40's, I MAY could get it down to 1:20.
My guess is this:
Guys over 30:
5% could run 1 minute quarter mile or could quickly train for it.
5% could train for months and get there.
20% could get somewhat close, maybe 1:10-1:20 with a lot of training
and 70% would start off running it and by halfway around the track will quit running, say "frick this shite", and never go near a track again.

Not anymore, but I'm sure I could back in high school. I never timed a quarter mile, but I ran timed 5-minute miles.

Ran the 4x400 relay in high school as a secondary event. Was just under 52 seconds in high school. I'd like to think I could still run a sub minute 400m 6 years later. The fastest guys were under 50 seconds, but I'd guarantee the average Joe couldn't break a minute.
