Charlie has graphs that clearly show that he follow’s a triple periodisation plan…that’s where we are getting the idea of a triple periodisation plan…
Just a follow up on Dwayne Chambers. I talked to him today at training about the reason for the under par performance way back before his age world record. He told me that, they did some “Crazy stuff” in season with Selwyn his first coach . He described doing sessions such as 3x300 flat out or trying to run flat out with 2-3 mins recovery if thats possible. If he didn’t finish, then it didn’t matter as long as he pushed himself. 4x400 with 3-4 mins recovery was also used. There wasn’t any speed work as we know it. It was pure fitness training… I didn’t get a chance to quiz him more about the GPP and previous work done before they did the sessions mentioned above. He is very approachable and all the years that I’ve seen him or talked to him he’s been very welcoming. I mentioned the forum so maybe he’s already on here or may join. Of course he didn’t let on to whether he was a member…hopefully he is, if not let’s hope that he will.
I have triple periodization graphs but not related to Bolt. I do believe that, when push comes to shove, Bolt is following a S-to-L approach (albeit with plenty of tough tempo sessions, though I think they are still extensive- for him and prob only him due to his max speed) He competes first over 100m and then moves to 200m.
