I've done loads of tempo in my life, its never helped me much. Too much of a workout instead of recovery.
Better genetics, white guys dont run fast don't you know. And i'm sure they are sprinting too, so you could also ask, why are more genetically gifted athletes who do specific work beating me? Maybe...
I've found that all this tempo stuff we look for correlations and explanations when there is possibly none. I'm sure we want to think that tempo makes you fast because it helps with recovery, and to...
Mills is a great coach, and so is John Smith. Bud Winters was good at the time. But come on, he was one of the first guys to coach black sprinters. You can't tell me that whatever he did people would...
I just find tempo to be more of a workout for me and doesnt help me recover. I've heard from other people too that they get more benefit out of a 20 min run. I think it all depends on how you feel....
I typically respond poorly to tempo. I think its my aerobic physiology. I think low intensity work is very important to balance out the high intensity stuff. This will sound funny to most people, but...
The main reason I probably won't continue with my current setup is for the same reason I stopped the previous setup. If I continue to do it, my body over time will stop responding to it.
Here is...
What I did differently was really stress my body to its limits. I started running 4 high intensity days a week, monday tuesday, thursday friday. All max velocity, but started with volumes I could...
Its been a while again, but I'm often checking back on the site.
After stagnating in my results for a few years, I started trying new training setups. I've been in a good groove. I set a huge...
I'm sure there are many top 400m runners that don't use squats or big movements as you call them. Its never a matter of right or wrong with what you do with training, but varying degrees of optimal...
Ya, he still pulled away significantly at the end as well, besides the gap created by the bad pass. The gap grows because of the pass, maintains, then grows some more.

Looks like Bolt did eat Asafa up
He's training with Brooks, as that interview highlights and this recent article also points out

No they do a full warmup, then run a 200m @ 80-90%, then 30-45min rest and do the prescribed workout for the day. So I would assume Gatlin does his in 20.3ht, as Brooks talked about.
Good man. I trained with him for a 2 months a few years ago. He's a scary coach to have, very old school, but hes seen everything.
Brooks is huge on teaching his athletes why you do things. He...
Some more graphs to look at. Bellow is volume per week in terms of #of 25m fly's, coming to a taper in my final 2 competition weeks.

Indoor season nearly complete, just ran my conference championships and they went well. Heres a recap of the past few races.
I ran 7.01s at a meet 2 weeks ago, straight final. I was feeling good,...
Get organic, unhomogonized whole milk from grass fed cows if you can find it at your local farmers market. This is the most nutrient dense milk. If you tolerate it well milk can be ok. If not, try to...
Its been a while, but I've been logging training data. I think things are finally back on track for me. Progress is coming quite nicely, and its looking like I will finally break through this plateau...
Of course genetics play a huge role. That is an example of a genetically insulin sensitive individual. Cases like that are interesting cases of genetic diversity but offer no insight into what are...
Pulling with the hamstrings, or striking in front of the COG is a bad thing for multiple reasons.
Stress on the hamstrings
breaking forces
Contact length, assuming optimal mobility and...

Kettlebell swings are a sorry excuse for an overhead back throw. Throw the implement for real power
Towing increases horizontal velocity which would overload the explosive component of hip extension, but the major problem with overspeed is that it forces the vertical component to hurry up at...
