Fixed it for you because as usual his analysis was crap
Better training shoes so you can’t stack workouts without being beaten up
bicarb legal doping makes a difference
moving to a threshold based training model and not Daniels makes a difference
genetics make almost no difference
People love to throw genetics in there because it makes them feel better about their own performances.
What the ???? Genetics make almost no difference? Do you actually run? This site has so many trolls or uninformed posters it's truly to the point of being downright funny!
One thing he doesn’t mention that applies to Jakob, Cam Myers, Hobbs, and Sam Ruthe: great, pro-caliber training partners. Jakob had his brothers. Cam’s a part of team Telford, Hobbs had Willis and VNTC, and Ruthe has Sam Tanner. It’s not normal for a 15-16 year old to train with legit pros but the biggest mile prodigies *all* had that opportunity. Not a coincidence.
It's directed energy positive frequency. My name says it all. It's always never any chance a 16 year old child runs 3:48 for the mile. Was that the previous men's WR too?
I don't even know where to begin in deciphering what this could possibly mean.

Ruthe is no child. When I was sixteen I was a child. Ruthe is a grown man.

He went 4:01 and was the fastest high schooler in the country I would call that being a prodigy at least in my perspective.
I'd say a prodigy is someone who breaks records and is very advanced at a young age, far beyond their current and recent peers, like Ruthe and Cooper. Steve running 4:01 two years after Webb ran 3:53 doesn't fit the bill.

That’s an incredibly strict definition of prodigy
Isn't that how it's typically used in sports and the arts? It's not just who's the best in the country in a given year. It's who is truly exceptional. Would you say every kid who ran between 4:01 and 4:05 in that era was a prodigy?
AI Overview Prodigies (plural of prodigy) are children or young people with extraordinary, innate talent in a specific area, performing at an adult level, like a "musical prodigy" or "chess prodigy," but the term can also refer to any marvelous or wondrous thing, or, in older usage, a strange omen or monster, stemming from its Latin root meaning "unnatural happening". Essentially, it means an unusually talented young person or something remarkable that inspires wonder.
Key Meanings: Child Prodigy: A young person (often by age 10) with exceptional skill in music, math, chess, etc., performing at a near-professional level.

Only the ones who do 4:01 which makes Magness a prodigy. You're just disagreeing for the sake of being disagreeable.

There are prodigies, and then there are ‘generational talents.’ Ruthe is a generational talent in the sphere of teenage level. But maybe it remains to be seen whether he ends up being an all-time generational talent, depending upon how one defines that.

You lost it when you quoted AI.
Because it refers to Webster or Merriam-Webster??🙄
WTF? I dont do jealousy.. Ruthe is incredible. He is also no child. Both can be true at the same time.
This is true. Sam Ruthe could pass for at least 20 years old. Can he improve? I think so, based on his training age and the apparently relatively light training he's done to this point. But he, like Cooper L., is very physically mature for his age, which allows him to perform at a higher level other 16 yr. olds.

Going back to the root meaning of the word, Ruthe’s exceptional performance, which we may never see happen again by another 16 yr old in our lifetimes, was a “marvelous or wondrous thing,” an "unnatural happening".
