I am SO glad to hear that genes play no role at all! We might as well get rid of all our DNA since it does nothing for us in the least! It's just sitting there in our cells and taking up space like some free-loader. I am just going to do the exact same marathon training as the elites, and I'll be sure to have the world record in no time at all! Imagine the possibilities! After that, I can switch to swimming and set world records in that too. Maybe I can even set a record in the bench press or something. Then, if I really want to...I can become a grand master in chess and discover a unifying theory in physics! Thanks, Nah nah, for opening my eyes!



Well this is a dumb post.

1) Which genes/DNA prevent you from accomplishing those things?
2) there's no such thing as doing the training that elite marathoners do. Because they don't all do the same training.
3) we are talking about running which is primarily a muscular activity. Comparing it to chess or physics is dumb for that reason.
4) what about genes limits running performance
