Okay, fine with me. I just need a source from a reputable, well-known university. I'm not saying you're wrong at all.
Are young, have no kids, & don't party to excess

From the article you linked:
"Once the social and demographic variables are controlled, however, the positive association between childhood intelligence and adult drug consumption is not statistically significant in the American Add Health sample."
In fact, when those two variables are accounted for, the graph shows a clear trend that the "very brightest" take less drugs than "normal", which pretty much confirms my suspicions -- thanks for the link!
The question remains though, why is it that more intelligent people have higher drug use without accounting for the social and demographic factors? The cited study doesn't mention it, but my hypothesis would be that they have better means and an easier time obtaining the drugs they want -- after all, they are more intelligent.

The one thing no one can debate is at 5,000 and over a slight build is essential.

The fastest people I know possess these three qualities:
1. They are focused.
2. They care about their bodies and do what is necessary to preserve and protect them.
3. They are goal-oriented.

The type of training it takes to become a world class distance runner doesn't help preserve/protect your body.

Oh I think it does.
But not if your idea of training is parties, smoking and drugs.
Genetic ability.
Work hard.
Durability.
1. Run Fast
2. Humble
3. Educated
Talent - no substitute to get really fast
Durability - train hard, hammer most runs
Self-centered/aggressive - take plesure in running people into the ground
The fastest runners I know usually win their races.
They won the 100 yard dash every time on the playground.
1. Steroids
2. EPO
3. HGH
you are kidding right? i know for a FACT that chris derrick smokes the most amount of weed. look at high school guys, top runners in the country smoke a lot and party hard. it is the sad truth.
