On the other hand, Olympians are not even close to "10x runners".

Ten percent of Usain Bolt's top speed (27 mph) is a leisurely walking pace that almost any healthy adult can maintain for 100 meters. Ten percent of a world record marathon is a bit harder, but high school students still routinely under 10 minutes for 2 miles.

The problem is that we haven’t defined what we’re measuring.

E.g. Usain bolt makes far more than 10x money from running than the average healthy adult.
