Hello, everybody.

Today I’m going to talk about people demonstrating the most impressive feats of human endurance in my country.

My presentation is divided into three parts.

Firstly, I’ll give a general overview of human endurance.

Then I’m going to talk about four people with the most impressive feats of endurance.

Finally, I’ll give examples of the enduring of person in other countries.

So let’s get started.

Definition of “endurance” in the dictionary is the ability to keep doing something difficult, unpleasant, or painful for a long time.

Endurance events are reminders of what we can accomplish while pushed.

They promise that with dedication and training, we may be capable of feats which border on the superhuman.

The following people took this notion to sometimes ludicrous extremes.

Now I’d like to move on to the next point and to speak about the first such a person.

It is Valeri Polyakov , who logged a whopping 438 consecutive days aboard Mir.

Incredibly, his physical and mental assessment after the voyage concluded that he was in excellent condition on both counts.

If you look at this, you will see the second pearson.

It is Fedor Konyukohov.

Konyukohov's flight happened earlier this year, in July.

He flew solo around the world for 11 days 4 hours and 20 minutes before landing back almost exactly where he started.

Konyukohov survived freezing temperatures, faulty oxygen cylinders and thunderstorms during the flight.

He slept little and lost 11kg during the voyage.

Take a look at this slide which illustrates the third person is Yuri Burlak.

He crossed the Black sea, covered 500 km in 17 days, with all that he is an invalid of the 2nd group.

Entering in the Turkish city of Ordu, he came ashore in Sochi.

Scientists wonder how it is possible.

And it's not just in distance, to hold in water at a temperature of 24 degrees, even 10 hours is too much.

The next slide concerns Irina Koval.

She can run for days without stopping.

It all started with the fact that her husband wanted to lose weight.

Then Irina came to the marathon.

After a series of tests was definitely that the uniqueness of Irina is to the rhythm, speed, if to increase it, the runner is already the daily distance will not be able to overcome.

Optimum running speed is 11 km per hour.

In the last slide I’d like to draw your attention hardy person from other countries.

Way back in 1965, a high school student named Randy Gardner, under the supervision of Stanford University researchers, set a record.

He stayed awake, without the use of stimulants for over 11 straight days.Despite somehow managing to best one of his researchers in a pinball competition on day 10, the physical and mental consequences for Randy were pretty severe, including trouble speaking and with coordination by day three and hallucinations and paranoia by day five.

In conclusion, I’d like to say that Endurance is the result, above all the attitude of a person to set a goal and to do it no matter what and despite everything.
