In the world of running, men have always been recognized as the faster champions. However, a large analysis of 873,000 marathons shows that this speed can come at the cost of experiencing a drop-off at the end of the race. In other words, men are more likely than women to encounter problems during the critical and decisive moments of the race.
Why Do Men Collapse at the End of the Race?
This situation clearly raises questions about men's endurance and training methods. Does the pressure to win push them toward failure in the final stages? Or might there be a need to rethink their running strategies and energy management? It seems that men need to pay more attention to the fact that victory depends not only on initial speed but also on the ability to maintain it throughout the course.
