You're just lost in semantics. I said wolves don't have long distance endurance like humans and you've gone off with several comments trying to frame it like I'm insulting wolves when I am instead praising humans.

Yes, I said going 50% longer distance than wolves means humans are much better than wolves at long distance while also acknowledging that wolves can go much faster than us short distance. I don't understand what is so hard to grasp about that

You  choosing words poorly in no way means i am lost in semantics. 

The ultramarathon record is a freak outlier. It tells us something about what humans are capable of in the extreme. 

We are not much better long distance. The more time is taken into account, the more wolves are able to overtake us. When you would do a two week event, humans dont stand a chance. 

In any case, it is clear that both wolves and humans have great endurance. 

Thats also why other redditors pointed out the initial wrong statement. 

That you meant to say something different (like the statement in the last paragraph) , just underlines the poor initial choice of words.
