I attended a seminar over the last two days where MJ presented in detail his
training methods over a 5hrs.

His program worked from quantity to quality and aimed for consistency in
competition. It did not have an aim for a peak. It was more important to MJ
and Clyde Hart his coach to produce consistency and this allowed for more
enjoyment of racing.

Most of his training was either shorter than 100m for speed work. His speed
endurance work was almost all significantly slower than race pace. He tended
to develop speed endurance as the main focus and rely on his natural speed.

MJ worked out in the weights room 3 times a week in a way that was not
periodized and involved mostly 3 sets of 10 and the use of short rests
between sets of 30s or less. His sessions were over quickly. He did not
perform Olympic lifts or Squats. Also he did almost zero plyometrics.

Many of his track sessions people would find suprizingly unimpressive in
their speeds but the stimulus effect of the sessions was the key and also
the way they were run. Mostly at an exactly constant pace. The sessions also
often had as short a rest as possible between reps.

I will follow up in a few days time with some of his key sessions.

Just a favour to ask,

I am interested in College Coaches contacting me about NCAA Level I
experiences as I am interesting in maybe coming to visit to look at getting
involved in the system. Would appreciate any assistance offered.
