World records in athletic events can serve as physiological experiments
in nature.  By considering how the marathon record has changed over time
it is possible to integrate ideas about oxygen consumption, running
economy, and the "lactate threshold" and tell a coherent story about the
limits of human endurance performance.  Importantly, this physiological
narrative raises questions for future physiology studies and also
highlights important sociological issues for those interested in
exercise science.
