About 15 years ago, I remember reading an article in SI I believe written by some prestigious expert in Sports Physiology that dealt with what the upper limits are to human potential in Track and Field events. I do not remember what the times the physiologist predicted were the upper limit of human potential.
Does anyone know of any similar articles or research.
Also, what would your guess be on the upper limits of human potential in both the Marathon and the Mile for both Men and Women? Assume that Drugs are not a factor.
