Hello,Pre was one of the best long distance runners of all time. And while I'm sure he owes some of that to his genes, I would argue that his achievements were tied to his sheer determination. His coach (Bowemann) was one of the best running motivators of all time. He was said to have a one of the highest VO2 Max readings ever...which I would argue is a characteristic that you can improve with hard work...never underestimate the will to succeed!!
