The average person in this country can not run one mile without stopping.

Yes it is.

I ran seven half-marathons, one full marathon, and enough mid-distance races in a span of four years to know how various times stacked up against competition.

A seven-minute split is a nice achievement for a recreational runner, but it's not going to win you any sort of medal or award in an actual race. When compared to even just a six-minute split, the two are night and day in any mid-distance or long-distance race.
