I had a discussion with a trainer. I said if I were African and I ran 26 miles everyday, because it was my job. I would be able to run the distance day after day, my body would adapt.

But, if you trained me to run a marathon, you would have me running short runs, medium runs, long runs, up-hill, down-hill, weight traing, monitoring my heart rate, my diet, the color of my pee, resting for recovery at all the right times, etc. and then I bet I would still get passed by the 60 year-old guy in the red-white-and blue headband at mile 24.
