So I was able to run sub 16 way back when I was in high school. I stopped running my sophomore year in college because I figured I was just average and I could never make a living at it.
It has recently been brought to my attention from threads on this message board that running a sub 16 5k makes me INCREDIBLY GENETICALLY GIFTED!!!
So am I biochemically superior to other humans or what? I'm out of shape now, but if I took up a sport like MMA or mountain climbing or whatever would I naturally kick butt? Am I sitting on a genetic goldmine?
