I do understand what you are saying, but I just don't buy it. Instinct is a response to a stimuli. It has to be something that your senses can process like knowing if and when to cut against the grain and having a feel for what is in front or to side of you. Good athletes simply simply process certain stimuli faster and better than others. I think that being able to hear footsteps and to be able to discern whether the footsteps on the left or right are faster or how many steps behind or the angle of pursuit is just impossible. Very seldom do I see a runner going that distance in a straight line. Usually there is some angle that he might be able to be process from his peripheral vision but not because he has some magical way to discern what is behind him. [/QUOTE]
