Understanding the Biomechanical Efficiency of Walking vs. Running

The world record for a 20km walk is only 29.5% slower than the world record for a 20km run, despite the significant difference in activity type. This raises questions about the biomechanical factors that enable walkers to achieve such relatively high speeds. Further research is needed to understand the physiological and biomechanical factors that contribute to this efficiency.
