Anyone can run distance. All it takes is commitment and miles. A couple years of running to get up to 70-80 miles per week can turn a fat kid into a very solid runner. I've seen it happen multiple times.

OP here.

Agreed. If you work up to running a lot of miles, you will be a good distance runner (unless you injure yourself trying to progress too quickly).

Mileage isn't everything though. You need to know what kinds of hard workouts to do for your distance, etc. Also, body type does come into it. The more slender your bone structure, the better.

The key in beginning to run distance is to stick with it. If you're out of shape, it's going to be a painful couple of weeks. If you can tough it out past this point, however, you'll likely find running to be fun and enjoyable.

Starting off with appropriate mileage is very important. Some people come in and try to do too much to fast. It's important to realize that distance running is a cumulative process. Everyone starts out somewhere, and even if it's just 20 or 30 mile weeks at first, it's important to build gradually. If you absolutely need to start big, incorporate a lot of cross training (swimming, cycling, elliptical, ect.) and run a lot of trails.

By the way, nice half-marathon time. I've got to try me one of those someday.
