Top level marathon runners maintain a pace of 11 to 12 mph (5-5.5 m/sec) in competition.
This is a running speed they could probably not keep up for more than one mile in the
untrained state. A question of major importance for this symposium is: What are the
adaptations to endurance exercise-training that make it possible for an individual to run at
this grueling pace for 26.2 miles?
