Not every one of the 7 billion people in the world can be a world class runner.

Because they must be lacking something.
In your case lacking intelligence.

I'm not lacking anything, not everyone can be a genius.
Thanks for agreeing btw!

Newton's second law of motion f=ma, force = mass times acceleration.
Apply this to any athletic event and efficiency of movement is the key to improved performance.
So when you race faster you are using less total energy to complete the race than your previous best time.
The 'Peformance Enhancing Drug' concept makes people believe the opposite, that superior athletic performance comes from using more energy not less.
So according to the PED concept, Sir Isaac Newton was wrong.
I've been trying to get this across for a few years here, and as you will expect, the response has been mostly a lack of interest combined with incredulity that I would even attempt to make such a suggestion. And the expected chimes of "You must be trolling?"
It's basic physics; you run more efficiently, you run faster and use less energy not more energy. Your natural ability is much more than what your metabolism can supply, but a combination of that and your level of efficiency in applying that energy output efficiently. But the belief is that by using drugs, this energy output is exceded and this is a false concept that is used to make up for the lack of understanding of what is actually happening biologically and biomechanically.
Where does this false concept come from?
The answer to that question is obvious. We are constantly bombarded with the 'PED' concept, to the point where intelligent people just don't question it, they just blindly accept it.
This is bad for the sport and just hypes up the belief in doping.
Please, everyone, take a step back from this craziness and try to understand that World Records like Almaz Ayana's run last night will happen inevitably regardless of what ever drug is being hyped up as the latest so called PED. It's the laws of physics. You can't ignore it and hope to understand training concepts.
Seriously, on PEDs you strengthen you range of motion, are more stabilized in motion (less sideways wobbles) and you recover from yesterday's training quicker, less down days. Thus you achieve a greater acceleration. Technically a better guide would be Claude Shannon's theories/equations.

Energy is in relationship with time, not with distance.
a 70kg elite consumes 1400 kcalories in 1hour, a 70kg slow amateur that goes 10km/h consumes 700kcal in 1 hour
Jon has been told this several times. He doesn't get it.

C = k*w*d
calories = efficiency*weight*distance
k is considered from 0,8 to 1,2, so "skill" does not justify differences in people running half marathon from 2 hours down to 58minutes.
