It seems like great runners are hailed for being good because they are "hard workers." I'd like to put forth the notion that dedicated, average runners go through the same amount of effort and pain as the elites but simply didn't get as lucky in the genetic lottery.
Some runners have a desire to be the best, this number is about one in a million runners. So if you want to look at the genetic traits that make the best runners, I suggest you look at their personality traits not their physical traits.
