The related side issue that has come up is how the few "apparent" exceptions can be explained by referring to other variables, such as how the concept of momentum and variations in comfort pace zones allows for dirt sprints to seem to vary from efficient even energy distribution as seen more clearly in turf routes.

The central issue on this thread remains efficient energy distribution and how other factors influence it under different circumstances - surface, distance. This is the aspect that Class and myself are discussing here.

If we seem to be going off on a tangent, though still related, it can be moved to it's own thread. Depends on how limited the parameters of the discussion should be. Either way is fine with me.

So where was your pre-race analysis to demonstrate to use it in practice?
