I detect a little bit of "blacks don't make good quarterbacks" in that argument... but the fact that you state that running at the elite level doesn't involve (or not as much) strategy and planning (and tactics!) shows how much you know about running...
You need the endurance, and you need to plan and strategize your particular race, and you need to be able to execute and/or adjust your plan, in BOTH sports. Ask around, primarily the Kenyans...
