L-to-S Vs S-to-L, Which gives you best results?

This is a question mainly for anyone coaching or training (preferably within the the CFTS but not exclusively). What have you found gives you the best results (Please state in terms of 100, 200 or 400)? I have found s-to-l best for 400m for myself.

Looking at the CFTS E-book and Angela Issajenko’s training diary, she seemed to run higher quality 200’s in 1983 using a l-to-s training plan but in 1987 using the s-to-l plan ran a better 100 but was poorer in her 200’s (though I do not know whether this was more down to a focus solely on the 100).

Thoughts

A lot to do with focus and conditions with the 200m. Certainly her best 200s came from the L-to-S but 100 S-to-L
