If others are training like the Ingebrigtsens then we should expect to see them enjoy similar success, because the Ingebrigtsens' success is being attributed to their training methods.

Talent aint an attribute at all in your book? Jakob Ingebrigtsen ran the 8.2 km long Siddisløpet in 29.56 when he was 11 years old, before he started to train with his older brothers. Helped by blood doping maybe?
Talent wasn't the point, it is the supposed superiority of modern training, as shown by the Ingebrigtsens' training, as you see below.

"This is incorrect.
Look at the Ingebrigtsens' training and tell me who was training like that 40 years ago".[/quote]
If it is talent that makes the difference between athletes 40 years ago and today then it isnt training after all.
