Are the Navajo some of the greatest long distance runners in the World?

The short answer is no. The best long distance runners in the world are from Kenya. Navajo runners are very good, probably for the same reasons as the Kenyans are good.

There are thought to be several reasons for this: 1. They are born and live at high altitude, where oxygen concentrations are low. So when they move to lower altitudes and get higher oxygen levels, they are super-charged.2.

Their life-style and culture require them to run all the time: perhaps 5 or 10 miles to school etc 3. There is social status from being a good runner 4. Running can be done without costly upfront fees.5.

There is a genetic element: the ratio of slow-twitch to fast-twitch muscles (unmyelinated vs myelinated) nerves is higher.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
