News Finding: Similarly, at 100K, the fastest women went from 4.5 mph to 8 mph, while the pace increase in men was from 6.3 mph to 9.3 mph.
Paper Finding: The athlete's age of the ten fastest women was significantly different between 100 km and 200 km and between 100 km and 1,000 km (Table 2) .
News Context: At 50K, the fastest women have gone from averaging 6.5 miles per hour (mph) to 9.5 mph, and the fastest men, who used to average 8.8 mph, were covering 10.8 mph by the end of the study period. Similarly, at 100K, the fastest women went from 4.5 mph to 8 mph, while the pace increase in men was from 6.3 mph to 9.3 mph. In contrast, the top runners' speed at 200K and 1,000K, which are contested less frequently, didn't change during the study period.
Paper Context: The athlete's ages of the ten fastest women ever were 40 ± 4 yrs (50 km), 34 ± 7 yrs (100 km), 42 ± 6 yrs (200 km), and 41 ± 5 yrs (1,000 km) (Figure 4 ). The athlete's age of the ten fastest women was significantly different between 100 km and 200 km and between 100 km and 1,000 km (Table 2) . No differences were found between the other race distances.
