I'd say sub 16 minutes is "FAST".

Sub 18 minutes is "fast".

Sub 20 minutes is "pretty fast".

Sub 22 is "not slow".

From my experience sub 18 is FAST for runners. Everyone I've ever known to run sub 16 was an elite level high school runner and probably ran in college. That starts to get you into another level of semi-professional runners.

I honestly don't know anyone who started running as an adult capable of breaking 16. While I'm not really a distance guy and considered myself fast at one point, I've never came feasibly close to breaking 16.
