yes
but individualization of training doesn't mean you defenestrate a huge part of the training, as in weight-training !!!
if Salazar or such minded coach came upto you advising you to incorporate serious weight-training into a regime, such as which took mo from ~ 27-flat ability to ~ 26'30 ability with only increase of a coupla pounds in body weight, i expect your response woud be akin to this :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S7QARslq74& if you want to make an Armani suit, you need silk
you cannot achieve the best suit nor will customer accept it without the correct cloth which is silk
& the cloth of the suit is silk which is the weight-training for Kenayans
no
your system completely abrogates weight-training which the highest achieving coach in the world of past decade in Salazar says is essential to ultimate development of an east african as he has shown with mo
your particulars of training are very particular !!!
you have completely thrown out the weight-training !!!
in fact you have never used it !!!
with who ?
this is absolutely shocking !!! & cringeworthy !!!
those Kenyans ran those times & some won all those gold medals & they never did any weight-training at all !!!
weight-training which any modern, not even that enlightened a coach, knows is an an absolute essential in maximising 800 performance
if Salazar had got these guys & forced them to do some weight-training like mo, & mo was likely just as those above to be reluctant to do it but he listened & obeyed, each one of those guys shouda been looking at a pb 1 - 2s quicker depending on how well a responder they were to the weight-training
so ?
mo had long legs, thin bones & low mass
he responded just fine to weight-training
no
you don't understand physics
frequency is irrelevant
weight-training means greater leg strength, greater "thrust" off the ground, thus greater trajectory or stride-length
it can increase stride by 1 or 2% which regardless of possible fractional reduction in frequency shoud still -> quicker
we are not talking europeans, we are talking Kenyans
aerobic level is nothing they have to worry about at all !!!
they have huge aerobic levels
they need the reverse of the europeans - weight-training strength
you can't see the puzzle ?
those europeans have the weight-training but not the aerobic level & were always trying to achieve latter
the Kenyans have the aerobic level but not the weight-training but are never even trying to achieve it under your coaching
have you learnt nothing from Salazar & his work on mo ???
a trivial concern
we are not asking these kenyans to squat 500, just some regular squats/presses to increase strength by a noticeable quantifiable level as with mo with little weight-gain
this level of weight-training will have negligible effect on elasticity but may even increase reactivity by increasing neuronal stimulation from reps of weight-training
NO
it doesn't
hill running is NOT the same as proper regimented weight-training sessions
you are advocating something like that dynamic-tension nonsense they used in '70s to build strength, using something ike this instead of proper weights :
https://bbsimg.ngfiles.com/1/21977000/ngbbs4cc9636a50a91.jpgdo you think Schwarzenegger won 5 Mr. Olympias or Kazmaier bench nearly 700 in the '70s using that ???
no
your "art" has thrown out all weight-training which a "scientific" coach in Salazar has shown just how incredible the results can be using a "scientific" approach on mo & also rupp to 26'44 & not scrabbling around calling it "art"
the paradigm is Salazar & he has shown that coaching is a science not an art
