And then I see Olympic athletes release stuff, when they genuinely don’t the difference between speed/special and specific endurance
Call it all Speed endurance! And Naive kids will buy in to it.
So many people online now selling their shit programs aimed at lazy athletes! Telling them essentially “you’re not lazy or rubbish it’s your coaches /systems fault” because maybe they did some tempo
And hey nothing but 10y fly will make you the best 400m athlete 🤮🤮🤮🤮
In a little over 40 days I get to graduate…. Again!
For the past two years I’ve been doing an DBA in Governance Policy and well it’s all done! Has been for a while.
So… errmm …. I guess it’s Dr Stew 🤷🏻♂️
Some seriously hard work been put in at a time when, work has been hectic, some big coaching times and changes and of course I had a baby!
Decided to start a specific 400m coaching page to simply dump my thoughts and workings, this post is about my annoyance on the over use and simplification of “speed endurance”

Why was the 4x4 mixed at the start but the 4x1 mixed on the final day??
Boooooo I don’t like that decision!
250-150 split 400 from experience is about .5-.75 faster than straight 400
Obviously this depends on the athlete and more importantly….. the coach/timer
These Athletes doing the Enhanced Games saying they not doing drugs!....
If i was running the enhanced games id be like " Wtf! Why are we paying you then! To do your normal event slow! We want records!"
Ps.. don't support the event! Just a reflection
Whats the output from the "whistleblowing" ???
Feels like will be another "athlete no.2" situation
Marvin Bracy 🇺🇸 signs with the Enhanced Games!!😳
He was banned for 45 months for multiple anti-doping rule violations following a whistleblower tip in early 2024, which led to a positive test for an anabolic agent, with 3 Whereabouts Failures during the investigation adding to the total sanction.
This means the top two finishers in the men’s 100m at the 2022 World Championships have now both signed with the Enhanced Games, following Fred Kerley.
Bracy is also a multiple World Indoor 60m medallist and owns a 100m PB of 9.85s.
Quiting coffee for January already has me on edge as I sit here reading a book and drinking my last coffee ☕️ 😪😢
Today's S&C consisted or run specific ISOs targeting mid stance at 2sec efforts and some single rep max eccentric reverse and standard Nordics for a total of only 3 singles!
How stale is most sprint training S&C? I like to challenge myself to new concepts a lot!
Seeing lots if races form the US. seriously how can anyone take results seriously when we have athletes running in a different lane for half the bend and not being DQd!! 🤔🤦♂️
Ok...WTAF!!!
Say goodbye then! Way to kill an event for real
