    Interesting. I've just finished reading Once a Runner, and whilst fictional, written originally in 1978 must have drawn from known runners. The fictional main character, a miler, trained up to 140 miles a week, up to 30 miles in a day, brutal "sessions" of 400m repeats, worst one being 60 reps! Ok it was fictional but the author must have drawn on empirical research. Basically the speed work was the critical element for the miler but the huge aerobic base was the key element.

    i was wondering do they count only american passport holder for this study in the post 2000 aerea or are non american born runners like lukas verzbicas ( who does not have an american passport) included since one sees quite a few african runners at the Us Collegiate champs and i wonder when they are invited into the Us for high scholl or college ?
