How long have been averaging 50 mpw of running? I would say that for most triathletes, if you have done that for a whole year, then I would say you already have a pretty decent base of running. How old are you and what sort of times are you recording for stand-alone races 5k/10K/half-marathon? What is your best 70.3 half marathon run split?
First question should be what is his BMI
Unless you've done some accurate testing, basic BMI #'s can be way off. Look at a guy like Chris Solinsky - built much differently than the average runner, and his BMI is probably not that of the typical runner, but an amazing runner. It's not a be-all, end-all. Race performances can tell a lot as well.
I have to also echo what's pretty much been said by several folks - consistency is the number one determinant for running success in longer distance events. 5, 6, 7 days a week of running over years will give you 90% of what gets you there. The speedwork and long runs become the icing on the cake.
