I ran about 9 miles per day all through HS with 90 mpw most summers and very regular races and track work. I ran 10 flat for 2 miles.
2 years later at 19 I spent a winter running 90 mpw and ran 9:20. Maybe not dramatic but I certainly was not training more than I had in HS.

You weren't doing all of the regular races and track work. You were finally not overtraining.
Also he had more years of aerobic development behind him, just because he wasn't training more doesn't mean he wasn't making gains.

Just merely by getting older have you improved? Not from better training, more mileage, etc. Just mere age.
Just about everyone who lived to those ages.
