USA and UK sprint training method differences?

I think there are a multitude of differences between the UK and US in terms of sprint training.

Dan Pfaff coaches and is centre manager at Lee Valley, Derek Evely in Loughborough.

I think there are a few keys though - obviously the times at this time of year are coming from the brits in the US as it is early season in the UK and if they have been on training camps and have competed before others in the UK have started their seasons.

Weather, facilities, but also how many paid coaches are there in the UK? Not many! There could be a few discussions to be had on systems - not just about training philosphies but also educational systems and opportunity.

It would be better to discuss the contrasts between the two countries than it would to do any vague mutual comparisons!

Tinsoldier, what knowledge do you have about contrasts in training of the two countries?
