Ultimate limit of human endurance found


Recommended Posts

Really interesting study on the supposedly finite limit for human endurance based on ultra runners and TdF cyclists.   The cap is 2.5 times the body's resting metabolic rate, or 4,000 calories a day for an average person, based on 20 day plus to 140 day efforts :eek: .  Pregnant women are almost operating on the limit!
