The age of the best marathon performance in a mountain marathon

Differences in age of peak marathon performance between mountain and city marathon running - The ‘Jungfrau Marathon’ in Switzerland The age of the best marathon performance has so far been studied exclusively for city marathons on a flat course. We now examined the age of the best marathon performance at a mountain marathon (Jungfrau Marathon) and compared with flat marathons in the same land.The best way to determine the absolutely best age for the fastest time is a non-linear regression. If you take the fastest runtime in a 1-year interval over the whole age range, the age of the best marathon time in men and women in the mountain marathon is higher than in the flat marathon.

How Pacen top triathlets over the Ironman route

Positive pacing in elite IRONMAN triathletes Pacing describes how an athlete is changing its speed in an endurance burden. It is generally assuming that in a longer-term load, the speed decreases more and more, which has not been studied for Ironman triathlets.On the basis of 13 Ironman Triathlon from 2014, we are more closely analyzing the 100 fastest finishers.For nearly 1'400 finishers, we evaluated at 8,000 mutacles on the bike range and almost 12,000 mutacles on the running track. It turned into 10 of the 13 competitions that athletes on the cycling line were supplemented at speed, while on the running track in all analyzed competitions decreased the speed.On the bike track, the speed in women decreased significantly more than the men while there were no differences between the sexes on the running track.

Characteristic of Hyponatriaemic athletes

Pre-race characteristics and race performance in hyponatremic and normonatremic finishers of Czech ultra-races The stress-associated hyponatremia is a well-known phenomenon in endurance sports and there are certain risk groups for shorter endurance charges such as a marathon. We have now examined in 138 finishers in long-distance races (multi-stay races and 24-hour races in mountain bikes as well as 100km and 24-hour race in progress), whether there are differences in selected variables such as age, gender, club affiliation, workout, experience, body weight and BMIare. There were no differences between athletes with and without hyponatremia in the target.All the work can be read below http://www.gymnica.upol.cz/artkey/gym-201603-0001_pre-race_characteristics_and_race_performance_in_hyponatremic_and_normonatremic_finishers_of_czech_ultra-races.php
