Hi,
I was just wondering, is there any correlation at all between parents' endurance/long distance running capability to their offspring's endurance/long distance running capability?
How much of it is all due to genes and how much due to the environment and epigenetic influences, gut microbiome etc.?
Based on available data, what proportion of elite athletes (i.e. middle/long distance runners specifically) have children who are slow/unathletic in middle-long distance running?
What proportion of elite middle-long distance runners have parents who are unathletic/slow runners?
What can the latest scientific data tell us about the heritability of middle-long distance running?
Thanks,
Christopher_Hart
