That translates to a 3-6 minute benefit in a marathon.
- thrdbndndn 4y agoNot sure if you can directly translate like that. It's not like when people finish a marathon they used all their energies. And their "output rate" per time (or per mile) may be limited by other factors.
- francisofascii 4y agoThe NIH paper indicated that optimal drafting will save between 3 min 42 s and 5 min 29 s of time for a 2 hour marathon pace. Just to clarify it wasn't the OP that ran that calculation.
