I don't know if you've ever practiced sport, but there are many techniques to get more out of training, and get more out of your strength and skill. The way you run, jump, breathe can all contribute. That's what i was talking about. Sasuke would go into his month of training understanding perfectly what to get out of it, while Lee would've started from the bottom.

The training we've mostly see Lee do is endurance training (everything they do, they do for a ridiculous amount of time), whereas Sasuke could've gotten a good amount of speed for relatively few bursts. Keep in mind that the Gates place a huge strain on his body, so Lee would need far more endurance to use his techniques than Sasuke. We've also seen Sasuke use only a few of Lee's techniques and mostly maintained speed for speed's sake. I doubt that he'd be able to actually beat Lee in a pure taijutsu fight.
