Also you left the best quote out...

Good quote.
Reminds me a bit about what Graeme obree said in his book, which was essentially
1. Ignore everything everyone else tells you
2. Do 30 minutes hard as you can on a trainer about once per week, when you have recovered.
3. Do as many miles the rest of the time as you can, all at recovery pace.

IP and Hour record are quite a bit different to ultras.

I bet his recovery pace was higher than most. I'd go (more) bonkers if it was all done slow.

Yes and no. Like your next comment, people who are fast over one distance tend to be fast over all distances.

As long as they have got the ability, mental setup, arse toughness, etc to ride long distance
