I hear a lot about conventional wisdom regarding % FTP on the bike during races, especially long course. You know, 80-85% for Half IM, about 10 points lower for IM.
My question for fast people is this: do you put together good races by following guidelines such as those, and one reason you're so fast is because your FTP is high? Or are you at a point (through training, genetics, etc, etc) where you can still run well off a harder bike?

Any run that doesn't include pooping in someone's front yard is a win.
