But that is not the case. It just shows the intricacies of training for performance Sports (track, swimming, etc). Of course, technology has a factor. @Adarian – in a perfect world, we would ALL have PB every season. But that is not the case.

Take Clyde Hart, he has had only one MJ, yes he has had a lot of fast 400m runners, but he should have as the averages was on his side. And why didn't he have more female 400m or 200m runners? Also take all of the people that have followed clyde hart's workouts and no one has really come close to what MJ has done. Not even JW. Now you are correct about speed reserve no doubt and I think you are correct on the two training issues, but how do you work on those issues? I see a lot of coaches that condition athletes to be faster but few that train athletes to run faster. I say the above statement because how many athletes start the season running slower than when they finished the previous year? Almost 100 percent.
