The age of the fastest Ironman time

The age of peak performance in Ironman triathlon: a cross-sectional and longitudinal data analysis For the planning of a career as an endurance athlete, it is important to know what age is the best performance to be expected. So far, triathlets were examined when the age-related drop in performance occurs, but the age in which the fastest ironescence time is to be expected has not yet been determined.In a first analysis, we have determined the age of the top ten finishers of all Ironman competitions in 2010 and examined in a further analysis based on a qualifier, whether over the years the age of top ten athletes shifts. In 2010, we were able to raise numbers of 20 competitions, in 19 competitions was the age of the top ten finishers for men at 33.0 ± 1.6 years and for women at 32.2 ± 1.5 years, with men and women not distinguished.Only on the ‘Ironman Canada’ were the men a bit older than the women. When looking at the course over the years, the age of the top ten men was at 31.5 ± 1.7 years between 1995 and 2010 and at 31.4 ± 1.7 years without a change over the years.

Performance and age of African and non-African runners in half- and full marathons held in Switzerland, 2000–2010 So far, there is known that top runners at international marathons achieve their best time at the age of just 30 years.Since the big marathons are dominated by African runners, we do not know if there is an age difference between African and non-African runners. For this reason, we have analyzed all half marathons for a country (Switzerland) over the period 2000 to 2010 as well as all marathon with the question of whether the African top runners are disciples than non-African top runners. In the half-marathon, the non-African men were older and slower than the African men.About the marathon track showed the same result where the differences were even more pronounced.In the women, however, no difference was shown on the half marathon route
