10,000M, OR = 27:01.17 -> 22.206Km/h

Marathon - 42.195 Km, OR = 2:06:32 -> 20Km/h

Walking - 50Km (31.07 miles), OR = 3:37:09 -> 13.815 Km/h

The walking event is much faster paced than most people can run/jog, especially over the distance of 50Km. The difference between walking and running is that a walker must maintain at least one foot on the ground at all times. Violation of this rule is the most common reason for disqualification.



A 6.5 minute mile is almost 15 Km/h which would really put the OR to shame. Average pace for a male? The male of a different species or a different human race from another planet perhaps?

These results are incredible, and they show the human performance limitations.(I don't know whether this is the right English term.)

Marathon - 42,195 miles, OR = 2:06:32 -> 20Km / h - on average 42x 1km / 3 minutes
10.000 M, OR = 27:01.17 -> 22.206Km/h- on average 10X1km / 2.7 minutes
Walking - 50km (31.7 miles), OR = 3:37:09 -> 13 815 km / h on average 50X 1km / 4.34 minutes

Am I right? Incredible!!
