This was the message I got from a friend who trains with Salazar.

So, you didn't actually witness the workout...

Is your friend Mary Cain?

Good point. Shaheen was a monster compared to Rupp, who I doubt could do this workout.

Do you have a link describing this workout, by the way? Shaheen is one of my all-time favorites.

Canova:

I can give data regarding the average, during fundamental and special period, of the weekly km of Shaheen during the years :

2001 : 90

2002 : 120

2003 : 150

2004 : 180

2005 : 150

2006 : 130

But, at the same time, after building a very good aerobic base, the volume of specific high intensity training continued to grow.

One day of 2006, before running Zurich meeting (he was in a very better shape than when he bettered the WR in 2004), we used a SPECIFIC BLOCK like this :

Morning : 4 x 1600m (rec. 4'30") in 3'56" / 3'59" / 3'58" / 3'57"

Afternoon : 2 sets of 5 x 300m (rec. 30" between tests and 2'30" between sets), average of the first 5 : 38"3, times of the second set : 39" - 37"3 - 37"2 - 37"3 - 37".

Somebody can think that, during a week including that Specific Block, the mileage is high ?

That is just sick.
