- ClassyJacket 10y agoTrue, but over a few KM I could. I couldn't name any longer distance runners off the top of my head.

- PJDK 10y agoDepends how fit you are. Even in a marathon top athletes are maintaining ~20km/hr!
- prestonbriggs 10y agoMaybe. I think it'd be an interesting thing to study. When I was young and running a lot, I could beat (recreational) cyclists uphill, but they would smoke me on downhills. So there might be the kernel of a fun study there. I guess my hypothesis is that, given equally fit bikers and runners, there's an incline where they will climb at equal speeds. Furthermore, at steep inclines, the runners will be faster and at shallower inclines, the bikers will be faster. Doesn't seem too unlikely (or interesting, actually), given the weight of the bicycle. But the general shape of the curves might be interesting.
