Whats this kid u know got anything to do with improving from 11.3 down to 10.6?? NOTHING.
I have coached athletes at high school down from 12sec + runners down to 11.1 runners. From 11.8 runners to 10.9 and from 11.3 down to 10.7. All within 8months.
Dont compare a 10.6 kids who just does it naturally. Compare where the dude WAS to where he GOT.
Now on the flip side of the above guys, most moved on to a capital city once school finnished for university, one even was under schoolership due to his medaling at nationals as a high school kid under my training.
so, now instead of Grass only track, very basic weights and an unpaid trainer, he now has
grass and tartan, proper weights, Paid trainer.
His results - never broke 11sec again!!
He was training, from a fast background and became slower!
JB methods if used correctly, produce the opposite of this university (top uni in the state) and make people from 11.3 down to 10.6.
By the way - i followed CF programing, not JB.
The point is, if something works, it works.
The other point to remember is this
People prioritize things, eg, School, then track or Uni then part time job then track then or Work then track, or even Work, family then track. Therefore, not a lot of people have the ability to train for an aim of sub 10sec, even if they have the ability. These people, have other things in their life, and 10.6 might be all the time they have to train for? Who knows? So therefore, becoming ELITE or Sub 10sec just isnt a priority in life. So what? This is why Pro running has evolved to where it is. There have been Oly level dudes come out of pro running, they simply make track their top priority and put in the energy required.
My point, not everybody WANTs to run 10 or 9.9. They do want to improve though. Ifs its year to year, or only from start of season to end of season then take 6months off each yr and repeat.
If JB’s methods do this for them, who are we to say B.S.??
The only time one should say B.S. is when a 10.8 runner changes coach and starts running 11.2…
