The results of the study of modern trends, typical for sport competition in super-long distances, are shown. We have analyzed the results of winners on major international competitions (Olympic Games, World Championships), the annual ranking lists of strongest marathoners (2000 - 2013), and also we have compared world and national records; have compared realization coefficients of results of participants and winners of the World Championships in Athletics (2001 - 2013.) Relative boundaries, which are limiting the zone of higher level of competitiveness, have been determined. To be in this zone means to have ability to win major international competitions (Olympic Games, World Championships). The main candidates for getting into that zone were found within national teams. Results of the study allow us to make a conclusion that there are certain provisions for improving the competitive performance of Russian marathon runners. At the same time there is reason to believe that even the maximum «utilization» of the Russian marathon runner’s potential will not allow them to get into the group of potentia lwinners on major international competitions.
