Conditions here and a lot of other places though are considerably different from Jamaica so would you get the same benefit from heavy grass as they do? Or do it on track in trainers rather than spikes?

His L-S is quite different from the CF model which maintains a more consistent weekly volume throughout and utilises only 2 HI days pw in SPP. To use stuff from here as a reference his GPP looks more akin to a combo of CF and KK programs and is concurrent.

One of the things that often gets raised is how to do adapt a CF GPP model to L-S, this might assist with that.

The next thing is SPP, perhaps instead of going L-S 2 days pw as CF has, another way might
be to use the L-S and a short speed day as well. If you did that you could drop back the volume of short work on the SE days?

YES. He reportedly agreed with the suggestion his program structure/theory could best be described as “Concurrent”.

He also said when his athletes squat, they do front squats because he theorises they cannot lift so much in front so there may be less chance of injury when egos do battle in the weights room.
