Bike pacing - hold back early on for overall improvement

Along the same lines:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16914374 - varying your cadence leads to improved run times

http://bjsm.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/39/5/267 - cadence selection and effects on run

The second one is interesting, in that it basically finds that lowering your cadence by 20% in the last 10 minutes before running gives a longer time before exhaustion on the run.

That's interesting, John. I had always heard that you should increase your cadence before T2 "to get legs ready for the run." This study suggests otherwise.
Thanks for posting the links.

Yeah, that's what I always thought too. I'm going to have to spend some time at home either finding or buying the full version and seeing what it's all about.
