Just a side note: Asking for a Like more at the beginning of the video as done here and more often this year has led to me much more frequently remembering to actually give the video a like, so for me this works! Great Vid as always! :) Cheers!
I came here to ask the same thing! Seems a bit backwards to me. Maybe that’s just the average and there was a period of outliers that really slowed the pace down?
@@simoneleandro_coachEven accounting for run economy, though, calculating speed should be simple if you have cadence in steps/min and stride length in meters, wouldn’t it? -At a cadence of 168 spm and a stride length of 1.58 meters, Mark’s first run would’ve been 15.92 km/h, or 3:46.6 min/km. -At the same cadence and a stride length of 1.64 meters, Mark’s second run would’ve been 16.53 km/h, or 3:37.8 min/km. Am I missing something here? Wouldn’t it be intuitive that (taking steps with equal frequency) + (going further with each step) = (moving faster)?
What would have been interesting is if they compared run off the bike vs run off a run to see what effects are just from fatigue of going longer as opposed what effects are specific to running after a bike leg.
Very interesting looking into this phenomenon 👏. Like all disciplines, consistent practice will unequivocally help the athlete " find their feet" during the transition to the run phase.
Your numbers can’t be right. Both of you ran at a slower pace in your 2nd run, but both of you had a longer stride in the 2nd run, with the exact same cadence as in you 1st runs. A longer stride with the same cadence means you are running faster… most likely your cadence numbers are wrong.
Part of my regular weekly workouts is a 1.5 mile run to the gym followed by a 1 hour spin class (about 25 miles w/hill repeats and tabattas) then a 1.5 mile run home. I'm generally 30 secs slower per mile on the 2nd run with about the same PE.
Stretching on the bike is such a nice idea ! ! ! Thanks. With all this excellent advice that you give, if we ever compete against eachother I will beat you 😂😂
Hi #GTN Team! Please correct me if am not interpreting the tables properly but, doesn't the same cadence with a longer stride make you cover more distance, hence, go faster? On the tables I can see this for Heather and Mark, but they happened to have slower paces for the second run.
That's an average, so they might have gone faster with shorter stride at the beginning and slower with much longer stride towards the end (e.g. two thirds of the distance). Would be good to see median or graphs for more clarity.
@@Stoweperry average is misleading, median is the better indicator. If you run 1/3 of the course with very high cadence and normal stride, and then 2/3 with lower cadence and long stride. You will have higher cadence and higher stride, but the overall pace will be slower. Just do the math in excel and see for yourself.
This was an interesting video. - I am mainly a runner -- We are doing a cycling class Sunday mornings and running a long run in the afternoon for a running road race coming up. its really helped run better for the long run (in the same day) which surprised me. Still trying to get a feel for my achilles and what it likes in the cycling class - do the out of the saddle sprints or not....
For pace, how does M:S mean minutes per kilometer? Assuming it does, if cadence is the same and stride length increases, speed should be faster. Also, the stride length times the cadence does not equate to the noted km/min pace. Maybe don't believe the data.
I am currently training for my first sprint-tri... however, I've never felt jelly legs so far... what am I doing wrong? 😂 am I not cycling hard enough? Or not running hard enough?
Thanks for giving duathalon some attention. I'm primarily a cyclist thay is trying to learn to run. Hoping to do an olympic distance duathalon. I need to video my form before and after cycling. When I do bricks my hips are sore the next day.
I think this gets trained with experience, by that I mean years of duathlon racing. In the early years run 2 speed improved as the run 2 went on, and now its best out of transition, like how Heather's cadence is higher at the beginning of run 2. I'm glad to hear I'm doing very well. This year I've had a 8 per km drop in a sprint, a 9 sec drop in a sprint with both runs as 5k, and a 7 sec improvement in the first and only standard du I have done. Well, I am running 5:30-6min miles, so not Mario Mola pace, but still front of the age group pack. It took years to get here, I was double that in my first duathlon in 2015. Maybe not shown in the running efficiency drop is that my run splits went from two minutes off the 5k I was running at the time, to now my first run is less than 20 seconds off my 5k PR pace. Lots of local races do the standard du 5k-40k-10k, because that fits with what the Olympic tri is doing, and the sprint du is doing in run 1. I've stayed away from that knowing it will get you a slower time.
Sounds like you are smashing it! Keep up the good work and watch those numbers get better and better 🙌What tips would you give someone that is struggling with motivation?
