Running world records (WRs) contain information about physiological characteristics that determine running performance. The progression of WRs over time encode the evolution of these characteristics. Here we demonstrate that a previously established model for running performance describes WRs since 1918 for men and since 1984 for women with high accuracy. The physiological parameters extracted from WR for each year are interpreted in terms of historical changes in training approaches and corresponding physiological adaptions, technological progress, social effects, and also the use of performance enhancing drugs. While the last two decades had witnessed stagnation of WRs, recent improvements in endurance have enable new WRs, presumably aided by recent technological advancements.
世界纪录（WRs）包含了决定跑步成绩的生理特征信息。随着时间推移，世界纪录的进步记录了这些特征的演变。在这里，我们证明了一个先前建立的跑步成绩模型能够高精度地描述自1918年以来的男子世界纪录以及自1984年以来的女子世界纪录。从每年的世界纪录中提取的生理参数可以根据训练方法的历史变化、相应的生理适应、技术进步、社会影响以及提高成绩药物的使用来进行解读。虽然过去二十年世界纪录出现了停滞，但最近耐力方面的进步促成了新的世界纪录，这大概得益于最近的技术进步。
