400m Prep leading to worlds

Thanks for the info. Interesting and a few questions.

  1. How did you determine they were overtrained? Omegawave, conversations re volume etc?
  2. Were they aware they were overtrained?
  3. Why those tests for 400m on day 1? Was it to do with the injury?
  4. How did the athlete react mentally given the lower volume? Relieved, concerned, unsure, affirmed by the progress etc?
  5. The day 9 session, was that something they had previously done?
  6. What volume of tempo?

1 sec improvement over 300m is impressive, well done I hope they go well at WC.
