Genetic predisposition - he was just lucky. While people would like to say this or that - unless you are from specific areas of Scandinavia or Italy or Japan where diet plays a statistically measurable part of your longevity - hoping for good genes from your ancestors is about all you can do.

The answer lies in his use of "strychnine "

Strychnine is a very toxic , colorless crystalline alkaloid used as a pesticide, particularly for killing small vertebrates such as birds and rodents.

Keith Richards once said ''Someone put strychnine in my dope. It was in Switzerland. I was totally comatose but I was totally awake. I could listen to everyone, and they were like, 'He's dead, he's dead!', waving their fingers and pushing me about, and I was thinking, 'I'm not dead!'''

On the other hand, Thomas J Hick won the 1904 Olympic marathon in St Louis, while using strychnine
