The Boston Marathon versus the World Marathon Majors
To compare finish times across WMM races for Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago and New York Marathons.
Race times of the top 10 male and 10 female finishers were analyzed from 2005 to 2014 using the high-performance mixed linear model procedure in the Statistical Analysis System. Venue-to-venue comparisons, as well as comparisons between Boston and other WMM races, with and without factors of temperature, humidity and altitude change were examined.
Performance from 2005 to 2014 in the WMM races was found to improve at a rate of ~1% each 7 years. Despite its higher variability, comparison between Boston's estimated mean finishing time and all other venues revealed moderate positive differences, indicating the Boston event to be typically slower than other venues.
Across the 10-year study period, performance times improved ~1% each 7 years for both genders for the WMM, with the Boston Marathon being slower on average than other WMM venues. Weather rather than course metrics appeared to impact performance times most.

Constitutional thinness: body fat metabolism and skeletal muscle are important factors
(1) highlights various abnormal clinical conditions important to help rule out constitutional thinness, including eating disorders, associated pathology and over-exercise, along with a history of weight, physiological menses and weight gain resistance. While overfat, whose global prevalence may exceed 80 %(3), is a common cause of chronic disease, physical impairment and raises the risk of infectious disease, both overfat and underfat are associated with immune impairment, in particular reduced glutathione and increased oxidative stress levels(4). Muscle weakness is a common clinical condition that raises the risk of adverse health outcomes including physical impairment, morbidity and all-cause mortality(6), with hand-grip strength an indicator of overall body strength and a predictor of health outcomes(7).

The endurance handbook : how to achieve athletic potential, stay healthy, and get the most out of your body
Are you a triathlete, runner, cyclist, swimmer, cross-country skier, or other athlete seeking greater endurance? The Endurance Handbook teaches athletes how to stay healthy, achieve optimal athletic potential, and be injury-free for many productive years. Dr. Philip Maffetone's approach to endurance offers a truly individualized outlook and unique system that he has refined over three decades of training and treating athletes, ranging from world champions to weekend warriors. Maffetone's training and racing philosophy emphasizes building a strong aerobic base for increased fat burning, weight loss, sustained energy, and a healthy immune system. Good nutrition and stress reduction are also key to this common-sense, big-picture approach. Dr. Maffetone also dispels many of the commonly held myths that linger in participatory sports--and which adversely impact performance--and explains the truths about endurance, such as: The need to train slower to race faster will enable your aerobic system to improve endurance; Why expensive running shoes can actually cause foot and leg injuries; The fact that refined carbohydrates actually reduce endurance energy and disrupt hormone balance; How overtraining can be avoided in its earliest stages; And much more! If you are looking to increase your endurance and maximize your athletic potential, The Endurance Handbook is your one-stop guide to training and racing effectively.
