> Instead, the events where the top women are close to competitive with the top men are at the ~days level. People keep repeating this idea throughout thread but as user geargrinder posted earlier, the difference at the ~days level is pretty big, at least in ultra running. For example [1]: 1000 miles Records Men: Yiannis Kouros - 10 d + 10:30:35 Women: Sandy Barwick - 12 d + 14:38:40 I had also heard - and believed - the idea that women were roughly equal at ultra distances but seeing the tables posted by geargrinder has been a massive revelation to the contrary for me. Is there some other proof that indeed backs the claim that women are roughly equal at large distances, or is this a total urban legend?
