Thanks KK, I am really pleased with my young fellows progress this year, 10.81 down to 10.41 (in Sydney) in 12 months as a 18-19 year old, plus that nice 3rd place over some very talented Aus men in Melbourne, he has done well. I am going to post some things we have done and used in the last while at the end of the season for feedback which will hopefully provoke some interesting discussion.
I had a list of about 20 questions to ask SF and I got through about half of them. Obviously a bit more time to ask some q’s would have been good although SF did go for 2 hours which was great.
Some more general ideas on themes would have been good. SF obviously has ideas on how he progresses things and this is where he is really successful it seems.
If you look at what they do in Jamaica - track/grass work, weights, plyos, med ball and abs. That’s about it. The weights, plyos and med ball and abs don’t seem anything flash, so I was wanting to get the bottom of how he progresses the running work, a bit like CF would show in a l to s progression.
Also is there any specific hip flexor work that he does to invoke such development here? Asafa is very developed here, is this just Asafa or is it intentionally worked on…maybe this has been answered somewhere else…
Plus the whole stiffness idea/eccentric work etc and if this is intentionally worked on…
I didn’t see any of the practical sessions that SF did so maybe others can comment on how useful those were…
