The record time is 9 minutes and 33 seconds, achieved by Australian professional cyclist Paul Crake in 2003,[73][74] at a climbing rate of 6,593 ft (2,010 m) per hour. this is for the eiffel tower which looking at your numbers are the same. Various sources, including the building's owners, give the height of Taipei 101 as 508.0 m (1,667 ft), roof height and top floor height as 448.0 m (1,470 ft) and 438.0 m (1,437 ft). The tai pei race only covered 91 of the floors. The 438 m refers to all 101 floors, that is roughly 4.3 m/floor. consider 91 floors of that we have 391.3 m. paul's record is in 10:29 so that is 37.3 m/min and about 2240 m/hr. which is much more realistic considering 2900 m/hr >> 2021 m/hr and they were set by the same person. my numbers may still be a little off as well. 37.3 m/min is fast, very impressive. after a little perusing:

The way to test would be to have couple of run full out for about 6-10min at 10, 15, 20, 25%. Few days apart for the various angles to make sure they are again at their best but not long enough to benefit much from training. Anyways, there are protocols that could be followed for the most objective comparison. However, I don't know whether any treadmill goes to 25%.

I realise that different brands of treadmill may have varying levels of accuracy.Any thank you very much for your interesting article.

I have problems with tailors bunions when ever I wear stiff boots especially w/ Dynafit boots and so far the only boot with a wide enough toe box for me is the F1. I have felt the weight of Grants XP and I must say its unbelievable and if I had an extra 1200 Euros I would buy a pair and use them just for races. As we all know this science is still far from complete and with all these new boots it will be really interesting to see which ones preform this year! Interesting thanks for all the info!
