"But there were no secrets, in any case. So when we met each time, for example, one could tell, ‘I use this system.’ And in the minds of the others was, ‘This is a stupid system!’ But after three days somebody tried to use the same system with some modification.

""Listen, this is in two years the final type of training that you have to do. 250 kilometers every week; this is the type of intensity, blah, blah, blah..’ He looks at this and says, ‘No, no, I cannot try, because it is not possible to recover.’ And in their mind, they suppose it is not possible to recover, O.K.?
before you did not have the courage to try to do this. You become very much stronger because maybe you are able to increase your training by 50 percent. If I am able mentally, working on the psychology of the athletes, to bring them in any case to increasing 50 percent—because it’s not true that you can’t not recover. It’s not true! This is the problem. So, it is not a direct effect, but is a placebo effect of the minds of the athletes that allowed him to train more."
Translation: THERE ARE NO LIMITS TO YOUR TRAINING OTHER THAN MENTAL
