Zersenay Tadese of Eritrea set the men’s world half marathon record of 58:23 in March 2010, and Peres Jepchirchir of Kenya set the women’s world record in February 2017 with a time of 1:05:06.
Performance, training and lifestyle parameters of marathon runners aged 20-80 years: results of the PACE-study. [Epub ahead of print]. When world class track-and-field athletes were investigated, the mean age of peak performance was older for marathon and male throwers whereas women reached an older age of peak performance than men in the hurdles, middle and long-distance running events. Moreover, the sex difference in half-marathon running performance increased with advancing age.

Except in 12 km, where sex differences appeared quite constant on age, even if a little higher in the older ages, in all other races sex difference had two maximum: they increased in the younger ages, until an age near the age of peak performance, then, after decreasing, they increased again reaching an absolute maximum in the older ages.
Sports Med. In other words, for each race, from 5 km to marathon, the statistical model was specified as follows: Race Time (Y) ~ (Fixed effects (X) = Sex + (PAge+PAge2 + PAge3+ PAge4) + Sex × (PAge + PAge2 + PAge3 + PAge4) + Country] + (Random effects of intercept = Runners]. Figure 7. For example, in half-marathon (Knechtle and Nikolaidis, 2018; Nikolaidis and Knechtle, 2018a; Nikolaidis et al., 2018) and in marathon running (Nikolaidis and Knechtle, 2018b; Nikolaidis et al., 2018), women achieved their best race times earlier in life than men in studies where all runners by age group were considered.

The aim of this study was to analyze the world single age records from 5 km to marathon with the hypothesis to find a lower age of peak running performance in the shorter compared to the longer running distances. Points were observations. A non-linear regression mixed model, with a fourth order (i.e., quartic) polynomial function, was performed to find the age of peak performance, which was the age at which the time record-fitted value had a minimum. doi: 10.1123/ijspp.2017-0866, Nikolaidis, P. T., Di Gangi, S., and Knechtle, B. 25, 67–77. Data regarding single age of world records were retrieved from the website of a non-official sport organism (ARRS). Our findings highlighted the need for sex-specific training programs, especially near the age of peak performance and for elder runners.
The relationship between age and running time in elite marathoners is U-shaped. When running times of the first 10 placed men and women in the 5-years age brackets between 20 and 79 years and the number of men and women who finished the “New York City Marathon” were analyzed for a 31-year period (1980–2010), the sex difference increased with advanced age and decreased across the 31 years, but more for the older age groups.

The world record in the half marathon has been officially recognised since 1 January 2004 by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the international governing body for the sport of athletics.A total of five men's world records and six women's world records have been officially ratified since that date.
Performance trends in master butterfly swimmers competing in the FINA World Championships. Points were observations. *In 2010, the 2km Junior Dash replaced the 2.25km Junior Dash. Points were observations. With regards to physiological correlates, it has been supported that the main physiological factor explaining the 10–12% slower race times in women than in men at the elite level is maximal oxygen uptake (Joyner, 2017). Points were observations. This is the first study to investigate the age of peak performance, the sex difference in performance and the role of nationality in running distances from 5 km to marathon and it was found that differences seem to exist in the age of peak performance between women and men (e.g., women achieved their best half-marathon and marathon race time earlier in life than men), and for nearly all distances sex differences showed an absolute maximum at old ages and relative maximum near the age of peak performance. doi:10.1007/s11357-013-9614-z, Lehto, N. (2016). The estimated sex differences ranged from a minimum of 0.003 (00:04:19 h:min:s), reached in 4 mi and 8 km, to a maximum of 0.019 (00:27:22 h:min:s) reached in marathon. Decline in VO2max with aging in master athletes and sedentary men. It could be observed that performances improved, reaching a minimum fastest time, and then they worsened with age.

This study investigated the relationship between half-marathon race times and age in 1-year intervals by using the world singe age records in half-marathon running and the sex difference in performance from 5-91 years in men and 5-93 years in women.

(2013). The difference was, respectively, of 1 and 3 years. Based upon the findings that the age of peak athletic performance gets older while the race distance becomes longer in ultra-marathon running, the research hypothesis was to expect a younger age of peak performance in the shorter compared to the longer distances of road running races.
