We all know those freak teammates who don't try their best in practice and you usually beat them but when it comes down to races they always beat you.. I'm the guy who trains hard to race hard but sometimes I don't race as I should. Does it come down to mentality, recover, effort, genetics, pacing??

Have you considered that they are training smarter than you are? What type of idiot races in practice.
I'm don't race in practice I try to hit my splits as relaxed as possible. You would be surprised that they never hit them except in shorter reps like sprints. They literally jog about the same pace as I would on a 4-8 mile run.
