The best age for the fastest triathlon time

The best triathletes are older in longer race distances - a comparison between Olympic, half-ironman and ironman distance triathlon For the planning of the best performance in a triathlon race, many details are important.A relatively well-planned value is the age in which the best performance is to be expected. We have compiled the age of the best athletes for the Olympic Distance, half Ironman distance as well as the entire IronMan distance from all international races from 2003-2013. For men, the fastest times over the Olympic distance at 27.1 ± 4.9 years were achieved over half the Ironman distance with 28.0 ± 3.8 years and over the entire Ironman distance at 35.1 ± 3.6 years.It showed that the differences were significantly significant.For women, the fastest times over the Olympic distance at 26.6 ± 4.4 years, over half the Ironman distance, were achieved at 31.6 ± 3.4 years and over the entire Ironman distance at 34.4 ± 4.4 years.Again, the differences were significantly significant.

What influences the pacing in the triathlon?

Factors influencing pacing in triathlon For a triathlon, there are various factors with an impact on performance. The most important are the length of the competition resp.The duration, the dynamics of the race such as windshade driving and the influence by other athletes, then environmental factors such as currents, wind speeds and topography, then the change zones from swimming to cycling and cycling to run, age and gender. A very good compilation of these influencing factors can be found under https://www.dovepress.com/articles.php?article_id=18350

Our work in the Social Media

Elite triathletes in ‘Ironman Hawaii’ get older but faster We have analyzed the relationship between age and performance for the top ten finishers on Ironman Hawaii.The work was published in the Journal Age, see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23591938/. The results are of practical significance for the athlete.For example, the Triathlet Graeme Stewart, winner of the Celtman 2013, commented on his blog our data, see http://www.graemestewart.com/race-your-age-age-of-peak-performance-in-different-events/. The Economic Student Øystein Hernæs, who is currently studying at the Department of Economics at the European University Institute in Florence, has taken our numbers in his blog, see https://oeysteinmhernaes.com/2014/09/05/aging-ironmen/.

Half marathon becomes more popular than marathon

Differences in Participation and Performance Trends in Age Group Half and Full Marathoners We have studied the development of half marathon and marathon from the period 2000 to 2010 for Switzerland.While the number of half marathon runners steadily increased, the marathon runners after 2005 came to a decrease. Most runners were in the age group 40-44 years both for half marathon as well as for marathon.In the half marathon, there was no change in performance in the age groups over the 10 years.For men, it came to a power reduction in age groups 30-34, 40-44 and 50-54 years.In contrast, the marathon runners in ages 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49 and 50-54 years improved performance. Even with men, the marathon in ages 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 45-49 and 55-59 years came to an improvement.

Where do the fastest channel swimmers come from?

Participation and performance trends by nationality in the ‘English Channel Swim’ from 1875 to 2013 The sleeve channel counts in the extreme swimming as ‘Mount Everest’ in ultra swimming.We examined where the fastest channel swimmers come from. Between 1875 and 2013, the number of successful female and male solar colliments increased exponentially, especially for female British and American swimmers and male British, American and Australian swimmers. Most of the swimmers crossed the Canal of England to France and most of the competitors were from Great Britain, the United States of America, Australia and Ireland.For women, athletes from the United States of America, Australia and the United Kingdom reached the fastest swimming times. For men, the fastest swimming times of athletes from the United States of America, Great Britain and Australia were achieved.Swimming times of the fastest women from Great Britain and the United States of America have fallen over the years.

Tenfold and thirty-one Ironman

Deca and Triple Deca ultra-triathlon: a comparison of performance of Deca Iron and Triple Deca Iron ultra-triathletes In the autumn of 2013, a tenfold and a thirty-free Ironman triathlon were carried out in Italian Lonato del Garda. We have compared the performance of the 6 finishers in the DECA with the performance of the 8 finishers in Triple Deca.

For a great astonishment, the finishers in the DECA in the course of the race were always slower while the finishers in the Triple Deca from the beginning to end were always about the same time for the 30 days.
