English version
A marathon is a very long run. This running is over 42 kilometers long. That is a very long way. Many people like doing this sport very much. They train a lot for this day. But some runners suddenly get very tired. This usually happens at the end of the way. People call this difficult problem the marathon wall.
People have now looked closely at many numbers from runners. This is called a data analysis. This data analysis shows us new information today. The result of the test is very clear. The problem affects men much more than women. Men get much more tired at the end than women.
Why do men have this problem? Many men start much too fast at the beginning. They simply run too fast at first. They do not think about the end of the way. Therefore, they cannot run well at the end.

English version
A marathon is a very long and strenuous run for many athletes. During this long run, there is often a major problem for the runners. In the last quarter of the marathon, some runners suddenly lose a lot of strength. This phenomenon is also called the "marathon wall". In this phase of the run, the body suddenly loses all its strength.
A new data analysis has now examined this problem in more detail. The data analysis shows a clear result for the runners: this problem affects men more often than women. This means that men collapse more often than women during a marathon. They lose their strength on the last part of the route much more frequently than female runners.
The data analysis also shows an important and possible reason for this problem. One possible reason is: many men start too fast at the beginning of the run. They run at too high a pace right at the start. As a result, many men pace themselves worse on the route. At the end of the marathon, they then suddenly lose their strength and can no longer run well.

English version
A marathon is an extremely big athletic challenge for very many people. During this long and exhausting run, some runners suddenly lose a lot of strength in the last quarter of the route. In the sporting world, this special phenomenon is also called the so-called "marathon wall". Anyone who runs against this wall can usually no longer maintain their pace. The muscles become heavy and the energy level drops extremely quickly.
A recent data analysis has now investigated this phenomenon very precisely and in detail. The results of this analysis show a very clear difference between the genders when running. Men are hit by this problem of sudden loss of strength much more often than women. While female runners can often keep their pace even over the entire distance, men collapse significantly more often during the final kilometers.
The data analysis also provides a possible reason for this difference. Many men simply start the race too fast at the beginning. They pace their strength worse during the run than women. Due to this fast pace at the beginning, they consume too much energy too early. Women, on the other hand, usually start the race in a more controlled manner and save their strength for the end.
This different behavior leads to men experiencing the "marathon wall" much more often. The analysis illustrates how important the correct pacing of strength is for success. Anyone who risks too much at the beginning loses an extreme amount of time in the last quarter. In summary, the new data analysis shows very clearly that men collapse more often during a marathon because they pace their strength worse at the beginning than women.
