I thought it was already well-established that our species has long been king of long distance running. To me, what's interesting now, is how fast can the human body actually go. Horse, dog and women sprinters all largely topped out in the 70s. Men's 100m is expected to drop a bit more. Both women and men are expected to continue to break marathon records, but women seem to be doing it at a faster pace. http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2009/08/how-fast-can-a-human-ulitimately-run-is-a-50-second-100-meters-possible-.html http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2009/08/how-fast-can-a-... http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/11/081128082831.htm http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/11/081128082831.ht...
