Hardest Endurance Race on Earth Hinges on One Factor, Not Fitness

Original: The Hardest Endurance Race on Earth Is Decided by One Variable, and It Is Not Fitness

Men's Fitness reports that the hardest endurance race on Earth is decided by a single variable, and it is not fitness. The article argues that at the extreme limits of ultra-endurance racing, athletic conditioning alone is not what separates finishers from non-finishers, pointing instead to one decisive factor. Endurance fans are debating the claim and what it means for how athletes should prepare for events of this kind.

Why now: The contrarian claim that fitness is not the deciding factor in extreme endurance racing challenges common assumptions and fuels discussion among endurance athletes.
