Gay Edges Powell In 100

Remember that he had surgery in september last year, so his options vis-a-vis high intensity work were limited this winter anyhow.
After his 400m pb Tyson was quoted as saying that this was his first run on spikes. Not long after that he did the race in Manchester going full blast. So he might have gone from something like 10.2 on shoes in training (if that) to racing sub 9.9 in just a couple of weeks. A more gradual approach might have been warranted.

Most people think the reason he got injured in the first place was possibly due to the long to short tempo based program.

Injuries happen in all programs but his seems to be chronic and related. I don’t remember hearing that he was injured until he started blasting low/sub9.8’s.
