>> I broke into the top 10% with relative ease (judging by Strava) > except that hard work can get about anyone into the top 1-2% instead of top 10% Keep in mind that people on Strava are already self-selecting out of the general population, it is instead that 10% who are interested in measuring their performance compared to other cyclists/runners. So these claims are equivalent. Top 10% of the 10% = 1%.
