The article begins:
"The world-record pace for the marathon continues to improve for both men and women. For men, the record pace for the marathon is now about as fast as the record pace for the 10,000-meter run just after World War II. Today, champion athletes are running more than four times farther at speeds of well under five minutes per mile."
The article goes on to cite that part of it may be thanks to the overwhelming abundance of fitness clubs and cultural pressures to reach higher goals. But that's a debate that the industry might have to consider some other time.
