Mounting evidence from exercise science indicates that women are physiologically better suited than men to endurance efforts such as running marathons.

Looking at marathon athletic records; that's not at all true and took me about 3 min to verify. In fact, out of all the top 25 record times, all are by men (and almost all Kenyan and Ethiopian men).

What is this tripe? They could at least try to be serious..

It's in the ultra marathons that women keep up with men and sometimes beat them

In backyard ultras, where competitors keep running until they can no longer maintain a pace of approximately 4 mph, the male record is 50% longer at 450 miles than the female record of 300 miles.

No one is running 450 km to hunt though.
