I’m not that type of parent and was joking about the state champion comment. Not sure why folks are so cynical. I’m just very impressed by what I saw my kid do with no formal training, and I’m wondering if he might have some real talent or if that’s not anything special for a 9YO.
Remember where you are. This place (OT) is a cesspool of shitty trolls, but among the shitty comments are nuggets of good information. For some strange reason, this is especially true when anyone asks a question about a kid and athletics (talented kids in particular.)

Not sure why my post has 8 dislikes?
Is it controversial to say that hard work is more important than natural talent?
Or that any reasonably healthly kid can do good? (After a couple years of quality training)
Or that getting a good coach at the age the parent wishes to begin training(should the kid have the desire to train)?
Or that training year round is key? (Of course following standard phases of training with planned recovery periods)
None of this seems controversial to me?

Natural talent isn’t as important in distance running. Any reasonably healthy kid can pick it up young and do good. Success is far more dependent on training. If he wants to compete in distance running, make sure he has a good coach and start him training at the age you feel appropriate. Year round consistent training is key.
