How much diff in VO2 or other measure is required for this energy diff?<BR/><BR/>Looking at the WR splits do you think that advances in GPS technology could assist with making pacing much more accurate, perhaps to the point where an athlete knows exectly how fast they are every 100m? Are there any rules that dont allow this?<BR/><BR/>JamieJamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11838185368815030561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753215493005715353.post-9206968470196020792007-10-01T11:52:24.805+02:002007-10-01T11:52:24.805+02:00Thanks will be checking<BR/><BR/>JamieJamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11838185368815030561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753215493005715353.post-54649315186731839362007-10-01T09:31:14.194+02:002007-10-01T09:31:14.194+02:00Hi Jamie<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the question, it's a good one!<BR/><BR/>Let me give it a proper answer for you though, instead of a bullet point list of things that mean nothing. THere are some quite interesting observations around the records, especially if you go SHORTER - to the sprints.<BR/><BR/>So it will make a good post for the future, inspired by you, and I'll do that one by the end of the week, if that's OK?<BR/><BR/>THanks, and check in again for the answer!<BR/>Ciao<BR/>RossRoss Tucker and Jonathan Dugashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08206700707221642727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753215493005715353.post-36832308224845474092007-10-01T08:41:49.920+02:002007-10-01T08:41:49.920+02:00What accounts for the large differences (2-3%) in speed between the comparitive mens and womens records in the distance events?
