Nature v. nurture -- the Mike Reneau example

Excellent article about U.S. Olympic hopeful Mike Reneau, who took up running in a college class on marathoning and finished his first in 2:36.

Whoa, martinjames! What a cool article. Wouldn't that be wonderful to be that fast with that little training? Its amazing his dad wasn't able to get him to try a marathon sooner. All that natural talent was just sitting there.
