Talent without training is a waste. But not everyone can even be a DI runner simply due to training.

Obviously genes play a huge role. Just the way you are built will be a huge factor in which sport you are more successful. Ex: Geb no matter what, would never be an NBA player, LaBron could never run a fast marathon, no matter how much he trained.

To deny that some runners are genetically "touched by God" is to deny reality. The best you can hope is to reach whatever your genetic limitations are by training hard.



None of that is true. There is no obvious gene play. Body shape (muscles) are determined by training. Lebron wouldn't be so big if he didn't work out. There have been several all time NBA greats that are Geb's size or a few inches taller.

It's all in your mind. Genes play very little role for normal people.
