Jean-Denis Coquard from L’Equipe (edition of 8 April) witnessed Monday 6 april workout:
“Préposé au chronométrage, Patrick Dawson, l’un des entraîneurs oeuvrant avec Mills, sourit. Son Usain, il le soupèse aujourd’hui à 75 %. Le garçon vient d’avaler six 180 m sans starts. Huit minutes entre chaque effort. Il ne s’agit pas de forcer, seulement d’aligner les 20’’5. Un tempo modéré pour un garçon resté trois heures en interviews dans lamatinée. Sérieux et placé, Bolt enquille : 19’’6, 20’’6, 20’’5, 19’’9, 20’’3, 20’’1. Le lendemain il montera en gamme. Le programme prévoit deux fois l’enchaînement 300 m (35’’), 180 (entre 18’’ et 19’’) et 150 (16’’), avec huit et douze minutes de récupération. Résistancevitesse.”

Rough translation:
Usain had 3 hours interview on Monday morning. Then he had this workout in pm : 6x180m without starting blocks in 20"5 with 8min rest, which is described as moderate tempo. Mills estimates that Bolt’s level that day before the workout was 75%, and Patrick Dawson was the timer : 19’’6, 20’’6, 20’’5, 19’’9, 20’’3, 20’’1.
On Tuesday, the workout is planned to be 2 sets of 300m, 180m, 150m with 8 and 12min rest. Pace is 35", 18-19" and 16". This is described as Speed Resistance.

Next competition is a 100m race is 2 May in Kingston. He ran 9.76 there last year.

Any other updates from his training before his car accident?
