What gives Blacks the ability to run faster and longer than other races?

Question

It is not slave breeding as some might suggest as that would apply only to the US and slave owners wanted strong slaves to work the fields Not fast or long runners! Ok, now that we got that out of the way, what do you think sets them apart from other races in their ability to sprint as well as long distance running.

Answer 1

I personallly think its becuase most have long legs.

The longer your legs are, the bigger your step you can take.

witch can make you faster.

Answer 2

I am not black but I can outrun just about every black person I know and that is quite a few.

It is a stereotype.

Answer 3

its a god given talent, race doesnt have anything to do with it. People try to find a reason to everything, this you cannot explain you either have it or you dont.

Answer 4

It comes from ages and ages of conditioning.

As I understand, the natives of Africa used to run between villages for one reason or another... Much like the messengers did for Rome and Greece back in the day.

Only with Rome and Greece, they started using horses, where as Africans just kept running.

Answer 5
