He's on Strava, but it seems does not update his stats.
Coach J.S. is old school, prefers stopwatch and minimal extras.
J.S. has integrity - doesn't exaggerate his training. It would be easy for him to say that he's running at 3:30 per kilometer but he's truthful and admits that he runs at four to four 30 per kilometer.
Dude is so modest none of his neighbors know about his illustrious past as an elite Swedish runner back in the late 70s early 80s. His neighbors are mostly migrants from developing countries like Somalia and Bosnia so they wouldn't understand anyway.
im choosing to believe this as well. if he was lying, seems he would make up more "impressive" stats.

Nah, he know's nobody is going to believe 3:30 so better to be a little "less impressive"
New training week and today I started up with 60 min easy steady at 5:49 pace.
I don't believe in the so called ' hyped ' easy zone 2 running nowadays ( 60-70% of max heartrate) when only training singles and in my case 6 sessions per week. All of the many world top runners in history running relatively low mileage ran most of their easy runs in zone 3 ( 70-80 % mhr) , even mr Canova who advocates high mileage has told most of the easy training have to be at a steady clipp , same with Lydiard who told his runners easy training wasn't slow but at a good steady pace .
I personally prefer to run in zone3 when it seems to give an extra boost and to me a more smooth and efficient stride that gives me ' running joy' . 😃🧙♂️🇸🇪
Ok, yes...improved biomechanics will improve your efficiency. Faster running by itself, including race paced training component (of which I am a big proponent) will improve your biomechanics, but for those with very poor style, they will have to conciously adapt and change. So whether you are running 'VO2max' intervals, whatever they are supposed to be (I assume of course its fasr enough) , there will be a correlation to improved biomechanics and thus a lowering of VO2 usage (efficiency).
But correlation is not causation. The VO2max parameter remains your 'engine size', the improved VO2 usage is your economy, but whether I just call them 'intervals', another person 'fast intervals' or you 'VO2max intervals', the fact that efficiency improves does not link VO2max to efficiency at all. They are entirely separate, measurable parameters.
Well, there is infact a causation between the VO2max parameter ( your ' engine size' ) and maxVO2 intervals, but only partially . You can't reach your by birth/ genes decided highest possible ' engine size' without the maxVO2 intervals / repetitions .
Of course there is, one hopes there is, because it 'is' called VO2max intervals. But that does not improve your efficiency as you claimed, separate parameter. Again going around in circles here, for a 'coach' that should know better

What you need to understand is that the so called VO2max intervals are only one of the different tools you need in your 'toolbox' to construct your perfect 'building' . Without it your ' building' will never be complete.
