We were born to run but the whole Born To Run movement is wrong. We never ran marathons everyday. Subsistence hunting wasn't the norm. Not all human can do what was on the video. The Born To Run movement is bad thinking.
@dygon766311 күн бұрын
@@britishrocklovingyank3491 We didn't run marathons every day, but we did walk quite a lot every day, compared to our sedentary lives now. On average humans would walk anywhere between 10 to 20km a day. Even if you're not running, this would be a huge physical boost and strengthen your body. Nowadays an officeworker will be lucky to walk 5km in a day, if even that. I don't think anybody is saying you have to run a marathon a day, you could, though nobody's claiming that that's the bare minimum or anything, but a huge portion of the population is not moving enough, just walking at mimimum 8 to 10km a day would benefit anybody, and it's something nearly everybody could do, bar people with some disability, but the majority most certainly could.

3:05 I think this could have been phrased better. Running as a sport existed anciently in Greece. In 776 BCE, the first Olympic Games in Olympia, Greece included a foot race. I would say that more accurately running didn't get popular to the general public until the 1960s. Professional athletes had been competing in running events for decades. You just didn't see people running for fun casually on the streets until the 1960s. If you saw someone running, say in the 1920s, you might assume they were training to be in the olympics

Thank you, you made me put my running shoes. Don't know if our ancestors had to run more than a few tens or hundreds of meters each time they were hunting, because we tend to do things that cost the lesser amount of energy possible. So I imagine them using traps, even for big animals, like pushing them towards a cliff or a dead end, instead of running for tens of kilometers. But in case the prey escapes and is wounded, maybe they would try to track it down for several kilometers. But I can't imagine people tracking a prey for more than ten kilometers, as they would have to take the parts of the catch that haven't been already consumed back to the camp before it attracts other predators, which can be heavy, especially with the fatigue of the chase. It implies them having the tools to to carry it back, in addition of hunting weapons. And for people living during ice age in the toundras, they would wear clothes adapted to the climate. All this stuff is heavy. Surely they were stronger than us, well prepared, had experience and they knew their environment perfectly. But still, hunting has a cost that couldn't be ignored. All the advantages that you mentioned also work for walking, and we know they could or had to walk on very long distances to find new ressources, following the seasons, or to gather tribes. Running for tens or even hundreds of kilometers represents an immense amount of energy that we do willingly, not because we are able to, but because we can do it with practically no external dangers (like other predators), and we know we have a good shower and our diner waiting for us at home. I'm not an expert, just letting my imagination talking here :)

Horses do sweat, and have a very fine coat, but they can't pant. The real issue is the size of their body, which doesn't shed heat as efficiently, and requires periodic rests to bring the temp down. The breed/ build of horse makes a huge difference. Arabs are the undisputed winner in endurance, as they've evolved to cover long distances in the desert. The VT100 is a fascinating race, as is Man v Horse in Wales. As an ultra runner and future endurance rider, I can't wait to both run and ride the VT 100, to get the full feel of both aspects.

Interesting but one thing the theorists get wrong with the idea humans basically ran their prey to death - the prey had many other advantages humans did not and do not have. Rapidly climbing trees, running through thick undergrowth, large teeth and claws, ability to run short distances really fast rest briefly and repeat- where humans really excel is hunting in packs (groups). Canids will do this as well. It’s a much more sure way to success particularly with larger prey necessary to feed a growing population. This is why humans found advantage in living in groups - hence villages, towns and cities. Would be really fun to watch a deer hunter today run down a deer 😆 hence the bow and rifle - real advantages animals don’t have.
