The kid has talent. This does not mean you can become an elite miler without running some high mileage. If you look at the training schedules of almost every elite miler you will see most if not all incorperate high mileage including Coe. People who infer Coe trained on low mileage are incorrect,
This statement about Coe is a falsehood, his training never exceeded 100 kilometers or 62 miles. Lagat never exceeds 70, El-G never exceeded 80, etc… The list is endless. America is full of volume freaks.
