Tarahumara people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



The word for themselves, Rarámuri, means "runners on foot" or "those who run fast" in their native tongue according to some early ethnographers like Norwegian Carl Lumholtz, though this interpretation has not been fully agreed upon. With widely dispersed settlements, these people developed a tradition of long-distance running up to 200 miles (320 km) in one session, over a period of two days through their homeland of rough canyon country, for intervillage communication and transportation as well as to hunt.

Pre-tool humans may have used persistence hunting universally to hunt prey. Humans in excellent physical shape, given the time, can outrun quadrupeds, which slow down when fleeing over long distances and lose their ability to pant while running.





lettin kenyans take all they shine 


right
i seen a docu on these guys, its more of slow jogging than complete all out 100% running. But still they were clocking those types of miles with radial tires for shoes
it doesn't matter if they were walking, 200 miles without stopping isn't easy lol
