I could not have agreed more. I wanted to ask the same question in one of my previous replies to Youngy but because being busy with other stuff neglected to put my thoughts into the cyber world. 
It is true that a particular training suits a particular individual. For instance I use a mixture of strength and conditioning (no particular coach) training structured to suit a particular athlete. I use Bompa’s periodisation templates and approach to certain extent. Also, I use CF’s methods in speed development and use his approach in structuring a plan for my 100 and 200m runners while I use C. Hart’s approach for 200/400m runners. For instance on tempo days I would always use Hart’s approach and on speed days CF’s. I have experimented with various other programs but found that generally the above named approach works better.
I have also used L-S but recently switched to S-L. However, I use weights with some athletes while with other athletes I rather introduce more plyos etc. Just depends on an individual. Their abilities are different therefore the programs are different.
I am open to suggestions and will progrssively update my strategy based on the latest and most appropriate stuff. The Bradley method would not fit in well with what I do nor I plan to coach pro runners but ultimately we may just come around to compete at the biggest meets just to kick some pro runner arse and collect some cash If we can, of course.
