Performance differences between sexes in 50-mile to 3,100-mile ultramarathons In the context of individual observations in recent years and decades, several journalists and also scientists assumed that the women are sometime in the long-distance course at some point the men in and overtake. To find and see such individual cases whether this observation effectively applied we have analyzed all runs over 50 miles, 100 miles, 200 miles, 1'000 miles and 3'100 miles from the years 1971-2012. When taking the times of the fastest men and women about these routes, the men were over 50 miles (17.5%), 100 miles (17.4%), 200 miles (9.7%), 1'000 miles (9.7%), 1'000 miles (9.7%), 1'000 miles (9.7%), 1'000 miles (9.7%), 1'000 miles (9.7%), 1'000 miles (9.7%), 1'000 miles (9.7%),) And 3'100 miles (18.6%) faster.If you take the 10 fastest men and women, the men were over 50 miles (17.1 ± 1.9%), 100 miles (19.2 ± 1.5%) and 1'000 miles (16.7 ± 1.6%) faster than the women.For all examined routes, no correlation could be found between gender difference and running speed.If you take the fastest times per calendar year, the difference between the sexes over 50 miles from 14.6% took 8.9%. Over 100 miles, the difference remained constant at 18.0% and over 3100 miles he rose from 12.5% to 16.9%.If you take the difference between the 10 fastest runners per year, the difference over 50 miles of 31.6 ± 3.6% decreased to 8.9 ± 1.8%. Over 100 miles, he decreased from 26.0 ± 4.4% to 24.7 ± 0.9%.The bottom line was 17-20% faster than the women.
However, one can assume that the women can approach the men over 50 miles and 100 miles. The whole work can be found under https://www.dovepress.com/articles.php?article_id=20092
