Here's what I have from Kellogg on the issue. I seem to recall something more direct about how if you see ridiculous training schedules with tons of intensity, that's a red flag for a doping athlete (faster recovery = more able to handle high intensity work).
The Soviet system as it stood was quite intense; of course, many people suspected rampant drug use by the communist regime, which would better enable athletes to perform high-intensity work more frequently.Someone posted some Horwill $h!+ and it was followed by a post saying "maybe if I was on EPO."
You are paraphrasing. I don't think JK is really an expert training guru. He never will be, because he has limited vision and ambition. You want world class coaching explained on letsrun? See Signor Canova.
No, doping hasn't ruined training theory.
Lydiard didn't believe in drugs. But how many so called Lydiardists even understand his philosophy? None of them who post here. They are all duped by the dopers' philosophy.
