We have heard more than once that human possibilities are endless. What in an emergency or after auto-suggestion a person can, like it seems to us to accomplish the “impossible.” But we forget that in every man (in me, in you, in all the people around us) is huge backup opportunities that we do not use. If we believe in ourselves and begin to move forward no matter what, then we we will achieve what we didn’t even dream about. What is the greatest distance able to continuously run a person? Record in this region belongs to the Indians – representatives of the Taraumara tribe. “Fast foot” – the name of this tribe inhabiting in the western sierra madre in mexico. In the book of Yuri Shanin “From the Hellenes to the present day “(M., 1975) the case is described when one nineteen-year-old taraumara suffered 70 hours a forty-five-kilogram parcel at a distance of 120 km. His a fellow tribeman, carrying an important letter, overcame the distance in five days 600 km A well-trained messenger is able to run in 12 hours without less than a hundred kilometers and can run at that pace four and even six days. But the American Stan Kotrel in 24 hours without rest ran 276 km 600 m. In the 70s. 19 the swiss doctor Felix Schenck set up such an experiment. He did not sleep for three days in a row. IN daytime continuously walked and did gymnastics. Two nights he made 30 km walks at an average speed of 4 km / h, and one night a stone weighing 46 kg lifted 200 times overhead. As a result, despite normal nutrition, he lost 2 kg in weight. The results of this experiment were presented by him in 1874 in a study on the impact of muscle work on protein breakdown. Our contemporary E.M. Yashin preferred to conduct similar experiments every morning in the form of intense continuous physical exercise at the limit opportunities – a kind of 25-minute super aerobics. To her Sunday run for 20-40 km is added, one-time meals (vegetarian), 4 to 5 hours sleep. Yashin’s body weight at 178 centimeters tall just 67 g. Pulse at rest immediately after Awakening – 36 beats per minute. Well, what can skiers do? IN 1980, the Finnish athlete Atti Neval managed during the day skiing a distance of 280 km 900 m, and his compatriot Onni Savi holds a record of non-stop skiing for 48 hours. In 1966 he passed during this time 305.9 km. More than two centuries ago, speed skating was born in Holland. marathon. In general, in this country, according to local residents, children At first they begin to skate, and then they already go. Members 200 km overcome the marathon on skates without respite. In 1985 49-year-old Dutchman Jaan sets a record in this kind of competition Krujtof – 6 h 5 min 17 s. Interestingly, in 1983 at the marathon 200-kilometer run on the ice of Lake Memphremagon from the USA to Canada veteran of this sport successfully ran the race seventy-six year old A. Devries. Swim trained man maybe as long as running. For example, forty-three Argentinean Antonio Albertino swam across the English Channel on both sides without stop. Overcoming strong currents, he actually made his way about 150 km (strait width 35 km) and was continuously in the water 43 h 4 min However, this distance was far from the greatest for swimmers. 67-year-old Walter Penish from the USA managed to swim 167 km from Havana to Florida, and his compatriot New York even 221 km submitted to the policeman Ben Haggard – the distance between USA and Bahamas. The record for the swim distance in the ocean Belongs to American Stella Taylor – 321 km! There are funny examples of peculiar super endurance of a person. In 1951, alone enthusiast managed to pass 25 km in 4 hours without stopping … backwards! A at a talker contest, one Shikhin from Ireland didn’t close mouth of the whole 133 hours. In our country in 1980 during the World Olympiad Yuri Shumitsky completed a walking trip along the route Vladivostok – Moscow. During the year, he walked 12 thousand km. And here is A.R. Ivanenko, who was disabled at 30, managed to run at 64 11783 distance from Leningrad to Magadan over a year Km! In 1986, forty-year-old French doctor Jean-Louis Etienne skiing in less than 2 months alone, covered the distance of 1200 km from coast of Canada to the North Pole. On his way to the brave traveler had to overcome and broken from a collision with shore ice with a mass of crevices, and a 52-degree cold, and finally feeling of complete loneliness. Twice he fell into ice water lost 8 kg in weight, but achieved his goal. A case is known when a rickshaw drove a man weighing 54 kg in 14.5 hours from Tokyo to Nikko, located in the mountains 100 km from the Japanese capital Cities. Finally, one cannot fail to mention a special kind of eventing, known as the Iron Man. Another such Super Tournament held in the Hawaiian Islands. First stage – swimming. The 4 km distance along the Waikiki River consists of two parts: 2 km – with the flow, the second half – against. We got out of the water – and right into the saddle of the bike. 180 km in tropical heat – a thing serious, but there is still a third stage ahead – a run to the classic marathon distance 42 km 195 m. It is interesting that the winners of such unusual triathlon manages to overcome the exhausting track for 9 h. In literature, often recall the best runner of the ancient Greek the troops of philippide, who ran in 490 BC distance from Marathon to Athens (42 km 195 m) to report the victory of the Greeks over Persians, and then died. According to other sources before the battle of Philip “escaped” through a mountain pass to Sparta to seek help allies, and ran at the same time in two days over 200 km. If take into account that after such a “run” the messenger took part in famous battle on the Marathon Plain, then the stamina of this one can only be surprised. Here are some interesting examples showing huge backup opportunities transforming a person through running from a seriously ill patient to marathon runner. Nikolai Ivanovich Zolotov. Born in 1894. In 1945 retired, suffering from heart failure, severe contusion of the spine and many other serious ailments. But Zolotov decided that living out his life while sitting on a bench is not for him, and began to “create himself anew.” Overcoming acute pain in the spine, he instead of two or three jumps on poorly bent legs through systematic training learned without any stress do 5 thousand jumps on each leg. Then became regular run, was a participant in many competitions, crosses, races, including number and marathon. In the traditional race on the highway Pushkin – Leningrad in 1978, he won his fifth gold medal. 47-year-old docker from Petropavlovsk-on-Kamchatka Valentin Schelchkov 5 years after myocardial infarction and its associated two-month hospitalization ran at the international peace marathon in Moscow marathon distance in 2 h 54 min. In 1983 in Odessa took place 100 km race. His winner was a teacher of biology and singing from Terskol Vitaliy Kovel, who covered this distance in 6 hours 26 min and 26 s. There were other winners in the race who won over ourselves: Yu. Berlin, A. Sotnikov, I. Makarov … They had to run continuously 10 – 15 hours, but in fact the age was already over 60! At two in the past, angina pectoris and overweight from 13 to 20 kg. In a different 100 km race suffered in the past angina pectoris and the whole a bouquet of vascular and gastrointestinal diseases fifty-five-year-old A. Bandrovsky from Kaluga ran this distance for 12.5 hours. It took only 10 hours 5 minutes sixty-year-old N. Golshev from the city of Ulyanovsk to overcome 100-kilometer distance in continuous running, but in the past he suffered from osteochondrosis with a sharp violation of joint mobility. In addition to jogging, Golshev helped get rid of this ailment. training in strong-willed breath holding, transition to vegetarian nutrition and hardening of the body, brought to the “winter swimming”. IN 1973 a peculiar race was organized in the Hawaiian Islands marathon distance. Its participants were exclusively persons who suffered a break in myocardial infarction. However during the race did not happen a single accident. Marathon a person is able to run a distance both in childhood and in old age. For example, one Wesley Paul ran at age 7 marathon in 4 hours 4 minutes, and two years later improved its result by hour. G.V. Tchaikovsky spent his marathon on his 70th birthday 3 h 12 min and 40 s. Age record without taking into account time Belongs to the Greek Dimitar Jordanis. At 98, he ran marathon distance in 7 h 40 min. Once famous english track and field athlete Joe Dikine whom journalists have long christened “grandfather of running,” in his 90-plus years ran every Sunday about 7 km. American’s even more amazing athletic longevity Larry Lewis In his 102 years, he ran 10 km every morning. Larry Lewis covered the distance of 100 yards (91 m) in 17.3 s (at 0.5 s faster than in 101 years). Some lovers do even serious injuries do not interfere with the marathon. For instance, American runner Dick Traum continued to participate in marathons competition after surgeons amputated his leg, damaged in a car accident, above the knee. He ran after that on prosthesis. 42-year-old Werner Rachter from Germany, being completely blind, showed a great time at the marathon – 2 hours 36 min 15 s
