Interview with Tudor Bompa

@lkh

LSU has a VERY high intensity track approach that emphasizes contrast training as the primary track workout. This is not just overspeed (part of the season) but maybe the most risky training method ever invented short of doing depth jumps off a skyscraper. BUT…it works, and even if you get injured, you still get faster (everyone I know who has used this has gotten faster, although the occasional injury rate is seems to be at least 50%).

Can you explain the contrast training other than overspeed work?

I guess you can do that stuff when you have the power to recruit (and get) almost anybody that you want.
