question about allan wells training

According to you, Kitkat … ‘A brief block of training … could re-charge his battery’ …

(Michael Johnson and Clyde Hart said the same thing, YEARS ago.)

What exactly do you do? Go back to SPECIFIC training (e.g. what you did in your ‘transition period’), with more volume as in the competition period? Stay away from competition for a while?

I think the struggle to get to previous times, happens all over the world with coaches and athletes, where the time spent to competition training is way-way too long. Athletes cannot maintain their good form for such a long period of time - and performances go down. This is the most difficult part of planning for any coach!

How long should the outdoor competition period be before the need for a top-up period after a typical SPP2 period of 8 weeks? 8-12 weeks perhaps?
