Bolt 9.69 and the New Limits of Human Performance

Interesting but I’d like to see this contrasted with last years workouts at the same time.
I feel the workouts would not be very extreme for Bolt at his level. What do you think of the breaks? Would you use those breaks or would you keep the breaks at the same duration between all runs- ie 12m and 12m, instead of 8m and 12m??

From what the journalist understood an told me, Bolt was able to do more reps last year, so it is more about volume capacity rather than intensity, due to the late comeback to training. In January, Mills was worried? And they are apparently questionning the possibility to double in Berlin.

Before his first 400m a month ago, his last workout was some sub max reps of 120-150m, somethign like 3 or 4 can’t remember.
