One thing I just noticed in the Bolt story, his 100m record was 9.69 s and 200 m was 19.30 s. That means he ran faster in the 200 m than the 100!

(2x9.69=19.38 s)

You could see he let up a bit at the end of the 100M. He knew he had it. If he hadn't slowed it would have been scary.

The average speed of the record for 200m has been higher than that of 100m for more almost 40 years now. You spend less %age of your time accelerating in 200m.
