John, I don’t really understand why you came into this thread to talk down to me, while missing the point of my post. I know there is no cure all, that nobody is perfect, etc. I enjoy Charlie’s products and his information is amazing. That is exactly why I want to see how he would handle a situation that is much more topical to us mortals than to look at the training loads of people running 9.7s and 9.8s who are training full time with therapy 3x a day, great supplementation, etc.

He says there are tremendous similarities, but–and perhaps I am simply not as intelligent/creative as people like yourself–I can’t see how you would apply/adjust something like the Vanc. '04 training plans to an 11.0 collegiate sprinter or a group of athletes ranging from 10.6-11.5 that would not result in a program that is almost completely different than what is presented (except for maybe some weekly structural similarities). Things like split runs are volume and rest dependent and if you can’t handle 2000m of speed a week, you are going to have to change things, which will inherently change the program design. I am curious what those changes would be like and an example of a program with that carried out. I am also curious how one would work around certain genetic/structural issues (if there is a way to work around those). For example, I would think training for a person who has a maximum potential of running 10.50 would be significantly different from one who has the potential to run 9.50.

Firstly last I checked anyone was allowed to post in any thread. Secondly where does this me talking down to you come from? Lets see,. I provided links to what I thought would be helpful then you make comment belittling my performances in a totally patronizing fashion, then in the above you post and perhaps I am simply not as intelligent/creative as people like yourself…hmm who is the one talking down / patronizing who? :rolleyes:

BTW I agree with, and 100% understand, what you are saying, did from the start.
