I’ve done many 100 mile+ sportives and have done both pushing down and pulling up.

You've done it just pulling up?

Both, pushing-and-pulling for rapid acceleration; as well as just pulling, often going up a hill to give the pushing muscles a rest.

Pushing and pulling at the same time takes a bit of time to get used to, but it can become quite natural after a while.
