Body:

I doubt high mileage is the cause of anything but success. A whole nation of Africans have established dominance in everything 3000 and up. They're moving to other countries that will let them compete for them.

Clearly high mileage isn't breaking down these people, its a problem with durability and training not with High mileage.

If anything its because America is so full of drug cheats that we are so softened by the quick and easy route that our bodies can't stand the test of time, when we get to the higher stages our bodies completely break down. Same with many horses, how many humans do you watch completely snap their leg like a horse does in a race?

How many African's do you see completely rupture their Achilles from doing 18 mile runs?

Chris Derrick and Cam Levin's seem to be doing fine with their current path, let them be, you'll never be the next great hope for America playing the low mileage, I just run safely through highschool and college game. You keep worrying about how many people are hurt in the sport because of doing this and that, then you'll be 40 years old wondering what you did wrong along the way.
