Forums >Racing>Why Do Men Run Faster Than Women?
That's the title of the below link. The article does a pretty good job at listing all the "disadvantages" female runners have to deal with; however, there's only one problem....
The fastest time for a male sprinter in the 100-meter dash is 9.58 seconds, vs. the fastest female @ 10.49 seconds; that's less than a second. Not bad, given all the disadvantages...
After reading all the advantages men have over women when it comes to running, I'd expect a little more separation in times

The article doesn't even mention how women have to work less hard to prevent their uteruses from falling out.
Are we there, yet?
Odd that it doesn't mention that the difference hovers pretty consistently around women running 10-12% slower at least from 100m to the marathon.

That is 10%. I think that is pretty significant.

It's hard work preventing your uterus from falling out! Sometimes I forget to clench, and out it comes. It really puts a cramp in your splits.
I was going to have a lil' lunch until I read this^^^^ Aren't kegel excersizes supposed to help with that.

I can not resist! This will probably get censored, but an old joke gives the answer : Because they have ball bearings and a stick shift!

I lost my right ovary since I started running. True story.

remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

I blame cycling.
Nah, it's not like it could fall out of those stupid tight shorts.
Trueché!
not bad for mile 25
It really puts a cramp in your splits.
Hi.
I kind of wish SOMEONE would tell all those women that beat me in races that they're not suppose to be able to do so, because of all these disadvantages........

Easy, because chicks stay for hours in the toilet! Thus evolution has selected the quicker among men so that we can get there faster ! It's natural selection mates.
