Why are men able to pace longer?
More men can run 13:00 than women can run 14:25. A 13:00 5k runner is just a really good runner and you can find lots of them willing to pace a world record attempt. Asking one of the super star women who run 14:25 to pace is much harder.
Lisa Uhl's lifetime best is 31.12.80.

Uhl did not have SuperShoes, 2 pacers, wavelights and all the other high-tech stuff that Valby benefited from.
