In episode 157, Sarah, Rick and Andy delve into how much running skill comes from your genetics versus training and hard work. In another universe could Rick have made the Olympics if he'd spent less time in the hot tub or would his genetics stand in his way? How much did genetics play a role in getting Andy to two Olympic Games?
The trio also discuss the half marathon World Record that won't count because of the lead car and whether banking time in a hilly marathon is a good strategy.
