The only people who read that stuff are exercise science junkies or exercise science wannabes.

I bet Siff's weekend camps were great for disseminating solid info, but I was too young to have known about it back then.

I had to cancel on a Siff workshop at the last minute due to a death in the family.

Dave Tate has an amusing story about Siff answering his door after barking like a dog and pretending to put the dog away.

Apparently this is a South African thing.

Moreno had a history of hamstring issues last season as well, before discovering CF.

Sounds about right. What's the point of injury prevention anyway? Knowshon needs some STFU therapy.

What goals are you all pursuing?
And what information do you wish you had your hands on that you do not have?

Hey Andrew. What do you think would be the most productive way to hit all the level 3 goals from here? http://www.eatmoveimprove.com/2009/1...able-athletes/. assuming I can hit all of the level 2 standards and a solid strength base?

That's pretty easy - 800m, a good two lapper has to be great in the 100, 400, and a 5k. So just take this athlete, add special strength training sessions to enhance the power position for jumping. Then add gymnastics. Start off with building an aerobic base for 12 weeks with moderate bounding twice a week. Finish with another 12 weeks of sessions at 60/100/200, 400, 800/1500, 3k/5k, 10k/HM paces over a 14 day period. Twice a week on the 60/100/200 pace days, add bounding, or squat with shock method/bounding, or weightlifting. Add gymnastic sessions next. The track sessions should carry over to the rowing. The first 12 weeks should be the 'off period' for the nervous system, the second 12 weeks should be the 'on period' for the nervous system.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is "bounding?". Is that light running or jogging?
