I just heard in an interview from Tellez his “taper” was a 400m fast and relaxed 7 days out before the 100m trials. I believe his time was 44-45 for this distance!
Well, you know what Bolt and MVP have been doing and what their results have been.
Carmelita Jeter:
I watched her–in her second 400 of the year–run down Lashinda Demus on the backstretch at UCLA in a time (53.08) that was almost fast enough to make the IAAF list for the event.
Two weeks later at Mt Sac, she ran a PR and the fastest time in the world (10.96).
Two weeks later, Kerron Stewart runs 10.92 in Jamaica.
So now Gay runs HIS second 400 of the year (the earlier one was 46-point), and we’ll see what he gets from that shortly.
They won’t do it if it doesn’t work.
