There have been several people, men and women who run a marathon every day for months or even years on end. In that sense there is no upper limit, but those people almost certainly all have a genetic mutation which most people don’t that prevents lactic acid buildup.
Most marathon runners have a lower body fat than is considered medically healthy and their toe nails pop off during the race, so we are already 2/3 of the way there.
That set is inclusive of every official marathon ever ran, so no it is not a single sample. We see consistently that the women’s record always is slower than the men’s record.
Longer stride length also equals a heavier body weight to move. I’m sure there’s some sort of graph where the vertex represents the most efficient combination of those factors.
That is definitely impressive stamina. An Olympic marathoner can average 12mph for around 2 hours and an “average” marathoner does 8mph, but that is on a road or track. Savannah is one of the few terrains where you could approach those speeds. I would believe they could go 50 miles on a hunt. Trying to run far in sand or snow, through heavy vegetation, or up and down mountains drastically increases the energy it takes (and the max distance and speed you are capable of). That’s a whole other thing.
Right. Even with persistence hunting, I doubt our ancestors were going 50+ miles chasing prey.
How does it not? Running 26 miles takes endurance and running it fast takes even more endurance.
I absolutely agree with the thesis that both men and women hunted, but I think the claims of women’s superior endurance are not represented in reality. The fastest marathon time for men is 2 hours 1 minute and for women it is 2 hours 14 minutes. These were in 2023 and 2019 respectively, so it’s not like it was years ago with drastically different treatment of the sexes. Both runners were Kenyans too, so that limits non-sex based biological differences.
I don’t buy that it is socialization. For one thing, the difference disappears in sports like shooting and horseback riding where physicality is not the determining factor. On top of that, when children compete at sports there are negligible performance differences until after puberty. The article mentions the record a woman holds for swimming across the English Channel. I think that women’s higher body fat provides buoyancy that massively reduces the energy required to stay afloat for a prolonged time. We don’t see the same supposed superiority in other endurance events.

That is a high quality slice of tuna.
The locked door told them the store is closed.
Definitely. She’s smart enough to play dumb to get what she wants.
4 week board and train program. It cost $4500.
Our standard poodle is a rescue that was heavily abused by her previous owner. She would get scared and bite. I figured the training would be cheaper than a lawsuit. It’s made a HUGE difference in her behavior.
The company pays dividends. You make money if the company succeeds, which is why stock was created in the first place.
The way it originally had value. You are loaning the company money and betting they are successful enough to pay you back with dividends.
I’m envisioning stock as a sort of non-transferable contract between you and a company. There would be no way to pass the stock to a third party.
Stock trading.
I am fine with companies issuing stock and with people selling that stock back to the company. Everything else should be illegal.
Jig - take the Ji from Jim and add a “g”
Oboe - oh bow
Tare - take the “T” from top and the “are” from share. Or more annoyingly, switch the P for T in “pear”.
Yoke - same as woke, poke, toke, joke but with a Y as the first sound. It’s also pronounced the same as yolk in most accents.
When Trump said he would debate Biden anywhere, any time, I said Biden should agree to a debate in Tehran.
