Kenyan runners

a lot

at a young age

at altitude

for food

FIRST they do milage: LOTS of miles. Maybe 175 a week. (Americans do 40-60)

SECONDLY they train agressively! They chase cars, bikes, anything they can sprint after. They cause pain in themselves during training so they can cause pain in other runners when they race. (Americans pace themselves)

THIRDLY they have a race plan when they race. Their plan is to win and they race to cause victory. (Americans run while Africans Race).

isn't 175 to much mileage. Running that much is how Salazar got hurt.

salazar was a pussy

Some simple observations in the history of man:

Africans were the original men, from the fastest to the slowest.

A small group of those men went north, they became the white man.

Now...

Proven: Today there is a higher level of genetic variation in Africa.

Not all Africans are fast (in fact, the slowest men in the world probably live there) but chances are that the fastest of men live there as well. Throw in adaption due to high altitude over several thousand years and you have what you see today.

The white man has no chance to match the Africans.

Im black so does that higher my chances to match the africans

I worked with a kenyan who was fat and slow. He said most people in kenya and etheopia aren't anything special, there's just one plateau where people are absurdly genetically talented.

Also Bob Kennedy ran w/ the Kenyans and realized they're just normal human beings. If we actually raced them a bit more and trained in a system like there's we'd see that white man (or asian or mexican etc.) can easily be as good as any Kenyans. The Kenyans and Etheopians just want it ore

I heard something about their bone structure being differently.It makes their body more efficient for distance running.
