GPP & SPP Lengths

Looking at the CF programmes which are based around 12 weeks and having looked through the various discussions, just wondered what peoples thoughts were on the length of the GPP and SPP?

I live in the UK where for the 400m runners it is normally a long winter as there is no indoor 200m track within a few hours drive and we tend not to race indoors.

Therefore the GPP can start late Sept after 3/4 weeks off at the end of the summer season, meaning there isnt a race again until May. This is a long time!" and if the SPP is 12-16 weeks (divided roughly into two phases) then we are probably looking at around a 12 week GPP.

What are the feeling son this and would the type of work done change due to the length of time available? Just looking for some additional thoughts…

There are more and more indoor facilities in GB. Is it still the case that nothing is possible?
(Think in terms of 2x/week)
