There are many coaches and athletes in the UK at present being being told they need to do more speed work and or are not doing it right. I have to laugh when individuals cast a glance at someones preparation and feel they know better. Its good to see that this individual has had the courage to have tried, realised it may not have been for him and gone back to what has worked. From history the UK doesn’t seem to have had any problems producing Olympic Gold Medallist in many speed and power events. Hiring all these individuals to come in the UK and tell the local coaches what to do is only going to come back and bite them in the butt and as usual it will be the home grown coaches whom will be there to pick up the pieces for very little financial reward. I hope this athlete has not discarded his previous coach in order to have tried the new approach he took this season because from what I read in the Lactate Threshold in their prep for 2006 CWG that the coach obviously lived and breathed the sport and was passionate about improving his athletes performance. More so he was willing to share this preparation on this forum. Will be interesting to see how this ends up unfolding.
