Setdown too late?#

"During the first instant of push-off, the recovery leg is set down beside and slightly ahead of the push leg"

So says Barry Publow in Speed on Skates

"Setdown should be as late as possible so that maximum force can be exerted through the pushing leg"

So (paraphrased) says just about everyone else, it seems.
