I was an asthmatic who often hiked but never jogged. I got an inhaler and did a 16 minute mile my first try, and a 12 minute mile my second try. I was jogging, not running, and the Level 1 Requirements are rather unclear on whether that qualifies, but I’d expect that most people really can do a mile. They’re shorter than you’d expect (10-20 blocks in most cities, although it varies :))
Hiking promotes endurance so it is not surprising that you could run 16 miles at first try since the asthma disables you lungs but not your muscles. Though we would have to define what is “running” by giving a velocity so we could be more precise.
Thank you for clarifying. English is not my mother’s tongue. In that case I think we have to know what “running” is so we can talk about how much that is or is not. Though I am not really interested in such details.

One mile in 16 minutes, not 16 miles.

Yes, jogging qualifies.
