This video features a 100km ultramarathon race between animals and humans, revealing unexpected results. Previously, we showcased a 500-meter sprint where the cheetah triumphed. Here, we focus on long-distance efficiency.
We calculated each animal's time, factoring in rest, hydration, and feeding, using five reliable sources, including three research papers.
It's important to note that such a race has never taken place due to the complexities of animal behavior. While there have been many 35km races between humans and horses, horses have always emerged victorious.
Human efficiency is key in long distances, shaped by millions of years of evolution for hunting and migration. Our upright posture has allowed us to develop tools and improve our legs and feet for running. Human feet, with their unique arches, are designed for long-distance running.
Additionally, our superior sweating system helps us regulate heat during intense exercise, preventing overheating—a challenge for fur-covered animals.
Genetics influence endurance, but training and conditioning play a significant role in enhancing it. Watch this animation and find out which one of these amazing creatures comes out first!
