Half-marathoners are younger and slower than marathoners The performance of marathon runners is well examined, while there is little for half marathon.We have analyzed over 500,000 half marathon and marathon runners, which were between 2000 and 2014 in Switzerland at the start. It showed up the significantly more athletes about half marathon than run over Marathon.If you compare all women against all men, the women ran faster both in the half marathon like in the marathon. The average age was for both routes and both sexes by 40 years.However, the runners in the marathon were older than the runners in the half marathon.
This great analysis showed that more people walked over half marathon than across marathon, women were faster than the men who were run slower in the half marathon than in the marathon and half marathon runner were younger than marathon runners.
