A 5 minute difference. Which is amazing. But only to other runners.
Going from a 50kg (110lbs) squat to a 130kg squat (286lbs) in 3 years is almost trivially doable (I've once gone from 50kg to 100kg in 3 months) and is impressive to everyone.
As much as we'd like our motivations to be pure, we really really really like impressing our friends.
