The simply answer to that is sports science has made things worse as coahces and athletes have become to scientific in their approach and forgot the simple fact that each runner is an individual who works in a different way to others.

Most scientific evidence is based upto a scientifc ideal/model that applies to every athlete.

I think we have forgot where we have come from and what we used to do.

The success of the Kenyans etc has been based on using training methods that people were using in the 1960's - 80's but probably applying 10% more than we did!
