Everybody has talent as an endurance runner. Most will never work hard enough to find out how much.
Go to the main page of Lets Run and read the "Why I Sucked In College" article. Print it out. Highlight and underline the part about "run two times a day, every day".
Think about this quote from Gordon Pirie:
"Many runners never suspect they have the ability to run at championship level. Most of
us have the ability to be consistent winners in our club or school. A surprisingly large
number even have the capability to win at the regional or national level, or to run minutes
and minutes faster on our 10 kms or marathons. To reach the upper levels of our
potential, however, takes years of dedication and intense, carefully controlled training.
Training involves constantly striving to remove weaknesses that hold us back. All the
great runners have spent years working their way up through the local and regional levels
before achieving true national or world-class status. Results do not come from the
previous month's training, but from years of dedicated development." (Running Fast And Injury Free. Pirie)
Look into exceptional runners and what they did differently from everyone else. If you want to be different, train differently.
