intoronto 4,524 Posted August 6, 2021 #2083 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Anyone that knows: Why do the announcers say the leader is doing all the work? Aren't they all running at the same pace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't they all running at the same pace? At roughly 15+ kilometers per hour, there is a bit of an advantage you gain from staying behind someone. Not as much as when the speeds are higher though, of course, I don't think it'll matter that much here. intoronto 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

It's much easier to follow than to set the pace leading. intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,663 Posted August 6, 2021 #2088 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Props for Mazuronak, let go of the group early, presumably because she felt that pace was too high for her, and caught up with most of that group later on!

Aren't they all running at the same pace? I don’t think the aerodynamic advantage is huge, but there’s definitely less mental/physical ware when following someone. It’s easier to follow than to lead/run alone. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
