Connection between skin fold thickness & mileage at 24h runs?

No association of skin-fold thicknesses and training with race performance in male ultra-endurance runners in a 24-hour run For elitic runners from 100 m to the marathon, depending on the route and the sex, there is a connection between certain skin fold thicknesses and the competition time.We examined for 24-hour runners whether there is a connection between skin fold thicknesses and mileage. We found neither a connection between skin fold thickness and competition performance nor between skin fold thickness and training circumference, found under https://www.jhse.ua.es/article/view/2011-v6-n1-no-association-of-skin-fold-thicknesses-and-training-with-race-performance-in-male-ultra-endurance-runners-in-a-24-hour-run

Dehydrieren Ultratriathleten?

A Triple Iron triathlon leads to a decrease in total body mass but not to dehydration In general, it is believed that endurance athletes lose weight during the load and thus dehydrate dehydration. We have examined the change in body mass and fluid budget at ultratriathletes and came to amazing results, found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20949852/

Performance development with wheel races

Tour de France, Giro, Vuelta, and classic European races show a unique progression of road cycling speed in the last 20 years. A French group has studied the development of the performance of cycling icons and large cycling tours in the last 116 years. It showed various development periods over time, with a fourth period after 1993, a performance improvement of 6.38% compared to the third period. The possible reasons for this performance jump are discussed under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20473822/
