    I was planning to do it as 2-3 mini-series but crammed into one as it is more engaging. Topics in this video are:
    - How Fast Humans Can Theoretically Run?
    - Why We Have No Fur?
    - Who is the Best Marathon Runner in the Animal Kingdom?
    UA-cam doesn't like longer videos so please share this video and subscribe if you haven't yet. Thanks :)

      Okay, but realistically a pronghorn antelope will always win. Also In this video, all that was taken into consideration was raw data. Sure at top speeds, a horse would not out distance run a human. However, at moderate trotting (which are only recorded with saddles and riders on the horse) clocking in at 10-15 miles per hour for 3-4 hours. It is safe to assume that a horse trained to without a saddle to endurance run 350 Miles, could easily beat Dean Karnzes 350 mile run going 4.3 Miles per hour.
      Same with a dog, a cat, or an elephant. They all can outrun any human, and if trained equally to humans/given equal equipment, we would stand no chance.

      @@barodrinksbeer7484 I'd agree within your your parameters, but admittedly it's limited hypothetical conjecture.
      In reality it wasn't a race, we used all kinds of tricks - and dogs can be trained.
      I.e. antelope don't sweat. They overheat much faster, even at a moderate pace.
      Understandably, if a chimp with a spear and a wolf began chasing me, then my cortisol levels would spike, diminishing my motor function and massively reducing my efficiency over a long distance.
      I'd be sweating buckets, and it might be enough to keep me alive lol.

    Imagine if humans actually were taught to run, run everywhere.. rather than being taught, punished, or scolded when you run (i.e. scolded or punished for running in the hallway at school), so much so that running was as natural and normal as walking is.

      Blood does go fast through your body though, don’t underestimate it. Especially as faster runners would naturally have stronger heart muscles maybe making it faster. I’d assume the problem would lie with how much air you breathe in though because if you don’t get enough it limits your muscles capabilities. They can actually do anaerobic respiration to power the muscles but this makes lactic acid which is not good for muscles and produces less energy

    A little nitpick: Using Dean Karnazes as an example is unfair since he has the genetic, superhuman ability to dump lactic acid stored in his muscles (note: I say superhuman because he was featured on Stan Lee's SuperHumans, episode called Ultramarathon Man). This isn't something you train or work towards. It's a genetic ability he was born with.
    Yes, he did run for that length of time without sleeping or muscle-cramping but he is not a normal human. He's very much an outlier.

      They are both correct, and connected also. Running on your toes stimulates the muscles on the bottom of your foot and will strengthen the arch in your foot. Allowing you to make one that is very high. I recommend doing some research on it if you are interested. Walking barefooted is also a great way to get to this stage.

    I personally am able to run faster, by running mainly on my toes. I never use my heel/the back of my feet when running, unless I'm slowing to a stop. Running straight and looking at the ground a few feet in front of you also helps you run longer. It helps by stopping you from thinking about what your trying to accomplish, and keeps you focused in yourself, not other people running around you. It also helps with staying balanced and in rhythm. If you have very good balance, than you might be able to run lower to the ground, which helps boost velocity.

      completely agree... some more added benefits for toe-running: 1) natural shock absorption - when running on full feet it is done by knees and back, which are not meant for such stress, causing problems in the long term; 2) more control of attack - can feel the ground thus reducing needed energy via better coordination of movements... one thing which helps me (apart from toe running and seeing the ground in front of me) is to feel balance in the back of head; from what I know control of muscles and blood vessels happens in a neural center located there... so I just start to feel the movement there, and it gets much more natural

      im not an expert when it comes to measuring velocity, mph, etc. what i do know is ever since i was little, i never liked walking flat on my feet since it always felt gross and unsanitary to me. (it also made me feel like i was wearing stilettos as a kid) i didn’t know it could make you run a bit faster and longer than running flat-footed.

    • @travis2845
      @travis2845 2 роки тому +17

      Usually when running the best place to land is on the balls of your feet (close to the area where the toes connect to the foot) this helps with shock absorption and carrying your momentum into the next stride. Another helpful thing is dorsiflexion (tilting your foot up towards your shins) this again helps with maintaining your momentum, and also with shock absorption. But it also gets your foot in the ideal position to minimize the time spent on the ground and getting to your next stride. Do be careful not to dorsiflex too hard, this can cause you to be running on flat feet which can lead to you putting a lot stress on your knees. Same goes with running entirely on your toes, this can cause a lot of pain due to the high amount of force’s exerted on them. :)

    My mother used to go for 10km runs out by our cabin in the summer. A couple of times, she tried taking our dog with her. Pretty sure she carried him back home each time. Poor little guy just couldn't keep up the pace, and slowed to a walk and refused to move any faster well before the point where my mother would typically turn around. At the time, I thought it was just because we didn't take him on runs enough, and he wasn't fit enough, and that may have been part of it, but I now understand that a good part of it was differences in endurance between our species. This makes me want to start running again. I was about as dormant as a hibernating bear for most of 2020 and 2021 so far, and while I haven't gained any weight, I want to be more fit, as I feel slower than I was before the pandemic, and I'm sure my endurance has plummeted.

    I used to have a German shorthaired pointer. These dogs are incredible at covering terrain, but even with the short coat, heating is definitely the bottleneck. It amazed me how effortlessly he glided up and down each side of the road and managed to explore every ditch and underpass and get a good bark at each dog while still keeping pace. In the same time he'd double my jogging distance, triple my walking. But when I maintained it for around half an hour, he'd start matching my pace, and be hurting without water to drink and splash in. On a particularly hot day, eventually there'd be a point he couldn't keep up.

    There’s also a mentality that if you walk you get into a trap of ‘oh it’s ok to slow and walk.’
    Speaking of, there’s a set minimum speed I need to be at in order to be in a running stance, otherwise it’s an awkward trot/walk.

The process begins by malting the corn and spreading it in a shallow basket covered with pine needles each day for four or five days. It is kept moist until the corn sprouts by which time the starch in the corn has been converted into smaller sugars. It is then mashed and boiled for eight hours. Varied herbs are ground up and mixed with water into a paste which is then fermented overnight by a fire. Then the paste is combined with the corn liquid and fermented for another three to four days.

I tend to walk that way as well, it feels natural. I remember being shocked in elementary when I learned most people run on their heels. That was insane. Good video

    Another important comparison to make it community and tool use. 40 hunter gatherers with spears can kill anything on the planet. There is no need to always sprint away if you have a big team of hunters. Unless you are alone, you do not necessarily have to run away from anything. I think that the endurance came from having to hunt things and was not motivated from being preyed upon.

    The sweat and our brains are just two of our biggest advantages.
    But the other big one is our shorter arms in comparison to our legs which allow us to maintain our balance easier when throwing things. Humans also have the ability to throw things the farthest out of any animal. Sure our arms dont got much power, but the distance we can throw combined with our ability to craft tools allowed humans to outlast any animal, and spear them from farther distances once they have been sufficiently worn out.
