Quote:Female bodies are built for endurance, resilience, and recovery. They tend to resist fatigue better, recover faster, and maintain muscle mass longer into old age than male bodies. Women’s immune systems are typically stronger. Their metabolic systems are more efficient, especially in endurance settings. Estrogen — too often seen as an inconvenience to control — actually helps repair skin damage and muscular tissue and regulate inflammation. In ultra-endurance sports like long-distance swimming or multiday races, women are beginning not just to catch up with men — but to beat them. The current holder of the record for the fastest known time on the Appalachian Trail is Tara Dower, who beat the previous record-holder (a man, though women have held the overall record before) by 13 hours.
