Can you give us some examples?
From what I've read he runs lots of slow, easy miles, runs intervals once a week. Not that different than what they do in Kenya or elsewhere? Maybe just that he races often that can be considered workouts?

This modern marathon training you speak of doesn't work unless the athlete is aided. Look at all of the foolish Americans trying to run 15-20 mile runs at marathon pace every week for 12 weeks and yet running slower than their contemporaries did some 40 years ago. Americans would be better off copying Yuki's training than the training prescribed by the running equivalent of Dr. Rosa.
