Sex Differences in the Age of Peak Marathon Race Time Until now, studies have studied the age of the best marathon period have proven that women are older than men when they make their best time. We have now analyzed almost half a million runners from the New York City Marathon from 2006-2016. As expected, men are faster than the women, the number of women took over the years dramatically and the largest part of the women was ranked in the age group 30-34 years while the men in the category 40-44 years were most frequently found. If we determine the age of the best performance in 1-year intervals, the women with 29.7 years were the fastest as the men at 34.8 years were their best time. If you take the 5-year groups, so the best times of women in the age group were 30-34 years to find in the men in the age group 35-39 years.
This result has practical significance for athletes and their supervisors, because women evidently achieve their marathon best times 5 years earlier in life than men. The complete work can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29526077/
