How heavy are you may I ask? I am 90kg, I can do a mile in 5.45 (tested in an army reserves fitness test) and don't feel I can deadlift more than 220kg safely, but then again I can do many reps of that.

That's an excellent deadlift if you are doing it for reps.

Handy for reference: https://symmetricstrength.com/standards#/90/kg/male/-

even a single 485 @198 lbs is more than decent.

if you're repping it and your max is probably somewhere the mid 500s then you're approaching "elite" level according to USPA: https://www.lift.net/2013/05/09/classification-standards-for...
