You show me a real endurance runner that weighs 250 lbs and I'll show you 20 of them that only weigh 160. That's the target weight for males in endurance athletics. The target weight for the average 5-11 3/4 tall man.
A 250 lb man whether he be fat or have bulky strong muscle could never EVER beat a woman in a foot race that weighed 125.

Yes, and cheetahs aren't the fastest land mammals, because, pound for pound, shrews are way quicker.
Is there no end to this dishonest feminist bollocks ?

The point is that women are faster than men when graded by distance covered proportionally to height. So all things even, a woman that's a given height racing a man that's the same height will win if they're maximizing each of their bodies in training and diet. Whether it be sprinting or endurance.

Men are superior athletes because they have physical advantages over women.
I do however believe that a man and women with equal height and fitness have a 50/50 chance each of winning if pitted to fight against each other.
I also think you have to add age to the equation. Older men and older women in their 30s have better endurance than men and women in their 20s.
My guess to who has the best endurance between men and women depend on who has most will to Winn at the end of the race. A fit male who is not determined to win, has a less chance to win over a female that is determined to win.
I agree with everything you said but I have no idea which decade is the prime of a human. I think it's the 20's. Since I'm 20 and feel as strong as ever.

You need to meet more women. All of us are not some fragile thing that's had life oh so easy. My Dad wanted a boy, need I say more?

It is a fact that women are better at giving birth than men.
I think someone has already mentioned this, but everyone is different. Some women can beat men at things, some men can beat women at things, some women can beat other women, some men can beat other men, etc. It is up to each individual and how serious they train, how coordinated they are, and what kind of genetics they have.
