Because, aren't all arts constructed scientifically? If you say "it is 60% Art", aren't you applying a scientific measurement to this Art? Is "running according to how you feel" strictly a scientific venture? Should one run according to how they feel?
Discuss.
It is neither.
Art is the creation of beautiful or thought provoking things; Paintings, sculpture, music, etc.
Science is the study of the physical world.
Running is a sport, recreation, health & fitness avenue and or weight control.

Surely running is those beautiful things! When I watch KennyB, it's breathtaking, like viewing a beatiful painting while Beethoven's 9th plays.
Its a mixture of PED and good genetics.
I have often thought of this question in terms of coaching. The more physiology I learn the more I realize that a significant part of coaching is art. Though science gives us the underlying principles, it is the art of using those principles that make a good coach a great coach.

Well said!
I have been coaching for several years and have found that I must have a good knowledge of the benefits of specific workouts and when to do them...but mostly it comes down to working hard and creating workouts/runs/situations that create confidence in my athletes...art all the way.
Both - there is definitely an art to it, but it must be based in sound science... whether or not that science is already proven or just theoretical is another issue.
Running is both an art and a science but for those of us who truly love it (or at least me) it is a spiritual experince as well.
