Most distance runners don't reach their peak performance until they are 30 years old

I'm 27 and most people get real good at running when they're like 30. Why is that? The Kenyan guy could be 45 and know it, but there's a guy from Norway that's 19. That's crazy. So you do have another chance. You're going to have another chance.

Physiological studies and historical data show that many elite long-distance runners peak in their late 20s or early 30s.

This was a real news story from the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics; Krushelnitckii tested positive and was stripped of his bronze medal.

Phelps holds the record for most gold medals and total medals by any Olympian, making this the statistical reality.
