OK maybe that is in part more related to physiology - being much fitter doing quality training for example?
I assume you were already cycling already and therefore had the leg strength... the quality running would have kicked up your LT/AT and given you a bit more welly.. however if you'd not ever ridden before it would have been a different story.
