@paulg rowing has a hard displacement hull speed limit, with exponentially decreasing benefit to more power. Cycling, too. Not running.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg more competitive pressure - more money/attention/prestige in running v rowingThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg track technology improving faster than boat design? -

@paulg from a logical perspective, running depends less on gear and more on your body. The speed of driving declines even less :) -

@paulg Your legs are 5X stronger than your arms. Biggest muscle in the body is the gluteus maximus, on your legs, they're easier to developThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg Resistance: When Rowing = Water When Running = Air A muscular increase yields a higher advantage when resistance is negligibleThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg The same reasons cycling speeds don't decline as fast: lower impact forces, cyclic motionThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg water <=> air resistanceThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg It looks to me like they don't. With a proper comparison table I'll be happy to help you with these familiar topics.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg Speculation: age-related biomechanics of high impact "X" running vs. low impact "strength-oriented" rowing. Solve for X. :)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg Higher anaerobic requirement of rowing means rate of decline in relative VO2max is less over time. Runners lose their lungs faster.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg I'm not very familiar w/ rowing, but running short distances probably involve more fast-twitch muscles, which decline fastest w/ ageThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg most things that have technique are refined as compensation for age. Possibly running is almost pure physical ability.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg What distances? If I remember Born to Run correctly, McDougall mentions that for marathons, 64-yr olds outperform teenagersThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg High impact vs. low impact, I would guess.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg Do you mean a faster decline against age or time?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
