Have women started overtaking men in ultra-endurance running?
Many of you will have heard of the gender performance gap in sport but did you know that as the race distance gets longer, the gap shrinks? Some scientists have even suggested that in ultra runs over 195 miles women could actually be slightly faster than men.
Join Kate and Anna as they celebrate women in ultra-endurance running, highlight the women who are winning these races outright and delve deeper into the science behind why this might be happening.
↓↓ Do you have any stories of winning outright? Do you have any ultra running heroes? Perhaps someone has inspired you to take on an ultra? Let us know what you think in the comments below ↓↓
