Everyone keeps talking about Usian Bolt's 100m dash but I've never seen people talk about Mo Farah's 10,000Km run. He completed it in 26 minutes..

1000147167


That put him at around 20mph which is insane. The Marathon running records are simply way more impressive because of the level of training, endurance and mental fortitude you need to complete them.

Ultramarathoner Scott Jurek broke the Appalachian trail record by running through 2,189-miles of rugged terrain in 46 days, 8 hours, and 7 minutes (that’s 47 miles a day for 46 days)

Ryan Atkins ran through 100 miles of grueling obstacles in only 24 hours in the World’s Toughest Mudder

David Goggins kept running till he had kidney failure, ran nine 100 mile ultramarathons in just 8 weeks.

There are many records like these. The level of athleticism and mental toughness needed for these records is next level. Long distance running is legit torture and the people that set these kinds of records have inhuman determination. Humans were built for endurance. This is how our ancestors hunted mammoths and Saber Tooths. By tiring them to death.

Africans are the best long term runners, specifically East Africans, they are true hunter gatherers.

Yea they have long arms and legs, short torso, low muscle mass and body fat and greater aerobic capacity. They need it to hunt for food in the Savannah grasslands

No blacks are the best runners. West africans dominate short distance and east/central africans dominate long distance.

Everyone keeps talking about Usain bolt because he brings in the money

It was never about how impressive sport is, it was always about who can earn the most money to sponsors and organizers

If you wanna be good at long distance running, you probably want to look like that

Low body mass with muscle definition and high endurance, ideal for that kind of sport but I agree, they have 0 appeal

Although their legs are usually very developed

Their legs are just toned, not muscular. These guys lack muscle mass
They will die at their 30s

I've saw some irl and they have pretty big legs, which is understandable because they train them constantly


Why would they die at their 30s???

If anything research has shown is that diet associated with bodybuilding reduces lifespan, meanwhile running is constantly used as an example of sport that slows down aging

You mean activity that is literally ingrained in our genes??

If you don't know, all humans were long distance runners before becoming hunter gatherers


And they don't run marathons that often, only a few times a year, the rest is just training

It often seems like people excel in one area or the other.

In my case, I have extremely fast acceleration paired with a strong top speed (though my acceleration is definitely the better of the two), as well as superior jumping ability.
However, my cardio is subpar to average and running long distances often results in joint or knee pain- although likely influenced by my flat feet and hallux issues as well.

On the other hand, my friends, who are consistent runners, tend to lack in sprinting or explosive movements but excel over long distances. They also seem far more durable than other guys.
