[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was at a district track meet recently and was impressed that sprinters are all shapes and sizes. I would try to guess who was fastest based on my preconceived notions of a “runners physique” and I was wrong 100% of the time [/quote] The comments by PP about genetics above is not about looks at all, but they are 100% right that sprinting is a genetics game with a small training component to strive for that last 10%. You can be a lot more ordinary and be good at the 800m and above just by sheer training and masochism. If your DS did luck out on genetics, then he will get the most help from hitting the weight room in the winter. A lot.[/quote]
