I´ve found an article on the website “www.ukhurdlesclub.net” regarding
e.g the trainingmethods that Felix Sanches uses.
Here are some qotes:
Felix: For instance no workout gets more than 3 min recovey, wether it´s 1000m or 150m."
UKHC: Is that throughout the season? Chris Rawlinson´s program is very much based around 3 min recovery work, uptil the start of March.
Felix: “That is the whole season. We have 1 mile or more warmup and 1 mileageday that is usually our restday in wich we run for 30 min.
He calls it “money in the bank”-most our work is actually 1 or 2 min recovery. And that is about it- there is no real secret, it´s just diffirent at least to me. Oh we only put spikes on if we have a hurdleseassion.”
Seems like 3 min recoverys are used all year round, that would be intensive tempo if so. I don´t know if this recovery concerned speed as well. It also seems like distance runs includes his trainingprogram.
In my opinion it looks like Felix´s doing not much qualitywork and more lactid acid trainig. (It´s kind of a MJ-feeling when you read about it.)
Any thoughts, comments or more facts?
