I feel ya man I ran 3:56 as a 23 year old, mediocre at best is what my body gives me, but having the ability to run a 3:45-3:48 at the age of 16 or 17 is pure talent and crazy ability. They certainly are legit. Which is the downfall because every time a young runner runs fast, the pressure is immediately bestoyed upon them to always do well and they get run into the ground.
and like GF they'll flame out and get injuries left and right.
Pull a Jenny B are a Jeremy W. and change coaches and stagnate and decline.
Pull and Alan Webb and be amazing at racing on a track when someone is getting paid to lose to him.
A Galen Rupp, where no conditions are up to par for even 90% of your best.
A Ryan Hall who jumps distance and remains consistently only the fastest white man.
A Jemlio and be amazing one year and pathetic from then on out.
Ritz and run and run and run and run, and switch coaches, but a big time and get hurt.
Noah and get hurt in a unrelated accident
Or
a Chris Solinsky which we've yet to see him slow down.
Yes, but we're talking about athletically genetically disadvantaged kids of European background.
better to run 3.48 at 16 than never at all
i agree with that
