Do you have a specific programme of Coach Canova's that you might post the link to? I'd be curious to see as to what specifically you're referring.
Mostly the program R. Canova have posted in here numerous times, regarding build of the year and his different speeds for different distances and volume.
For example:
for athletes having 27'30" in 10000m (speed 16"5 every 100m, specific speed between 15"7 and 17"4 per km :
test of 600 (1'34"2), 800 (2'05"6), 1000 (2'37"), 1200 (3'08"4) at 105%, stimulating specific speed
test of 1000 (2'54"), 2000 (5'48"), 3000 (8'42"), 4000 (11'36") at 95% stimulating the Aerobic Power
long run of 6-10 km at 95% stimulating the Threshold
long run of 12-25 km at 90% (in this case 3'01"5 per km) stimulating the ability in extending the duration at the speed of Aerobic Power
I know A. Cabral has rejected that amateur runners can follow Canova....but
