Honest edges
Open questions
What the method has not settled, needs film for, or needs the founder to answer. These are part of the teaching.
First to Fifty
1 open
- Ambiguity The spoken running total in the 2026-08-10 transcript does not add cleanly; men's and women's exact counts were left for the founder to revisit.
The Hurdle Belongs in the Dance
2 open
- Unresolved The formal "rules of speed" are named in canon but not yet listed by the founder.
- Needs the founder Mentor identity, wording and date for Water Over a Rock.
Shapes, Rhythm, Accuracy
1 open
- Needs the founder The founder offered, and deferred, the full geometric and theoretical account of the shapes.
Productive Danger
1 open
- Unresolved No executable progression variable for nervous-system overload has been defined by the founder yet.
What Stay Dangerous Is
2 open
- Needs the founder Exact titles, editions and preferred attribution for AOH, FTC, KOT and DHP, including the identity of Daniel, are still to be verified.
- Needs the founder Coach Kevin's full name and affiliation.
The Running Order
1 open
- Needs the founder The founder offered a deeper geometric and theoretical layer at the pause point and deferred it.
Practice Runs on Themes
2 open
- Needs the founder Whether the fence drills and the Block Start Warm-Up carry a single theme the founder has not yet named.
- Ambiguity "We don't think to enforce it so much" -- deliberate non-enforcement or simply lighter cueing is not yet stated.
Menus and Doses
1 open
- Ambiguity Whether 55 seconds is rest between each 5-second drill or a figure for the whole section is not settled by the wording.
Activations, Ground Up
2 open
- Needs the founder Confirm "tip raises" means toe raises.
- Needs the founder Race-behavior purpose of the knee, hip and core activation blocks.
Active Stretches
2 open
- Needs the founder "Sidney's" and "Afternoons" -- whether these are names, founder terms, or transcription artifacts.
- Unresolved Full roster of the six stretches and six walking stretches; position of the neck stretches.
Sprint Drills: Frontside
2 open
- Ambiguity The two Usain descriptions -- one drill at two efforts, two drills sharing a name, or a naming correction -- are unreconciled.
- Unresolved The four main sprint drills at the section's minimum, and whether bottom-ups count inside the four to six.
Fence Hurdle Drills
3 open
- Needs the founder Scope of the originality claim: the drill, the movement pattern, or the teaching cue.
- Needs the founder Whether "Grand Holloways" is named for the hurdler Grant Holloway or is a transcription artifact.
- Needs the founder Why the kicking-the-fence drill is excluded.
No-Hurdle Drills
3 open
- Unresolved The lead leg pass is named but not described.
- Needs the founder Why the lead leg is deliberately not brought down strong during the cut step pass.
- Unresolved Scaling on tracks with fewer than nine lane lines; the mentor's identity.
7-14-21
3 open
- Ambiguity "About 8 ft apart" and "each 7 ft" both appear in the 7 description.
- Unresolved The 21 spacing in feet was not stated.
- Needs the founder Which foot "left" denotes, whether the term flips for the other lead leg, and how left-left is measured.
Block Start Warm-Up
2 open
- Needs the founder Whether "flisk" is a coined term or a transcription artifact; why the double knee produces a better reaction than a conventional set.
- Unresolved The actual measured distances of the second-step and fourth-step marks; the female hurdler's pattern and marks.
The ABCs
1 open
- Unresolved Whether "low 1.0s" is a standard for the discounted A spacing or for race spacing.
Working Sets and the Hurdle Count
1 open
- Unresolved Each athlete's actual cap, how it was set, and how the running count is tracked during a session.
up-DOWN and Straight Lines
1 open
- Ambiguity The transcript reads "Your wrists aren't together, and your elbows are poking out" inside the list of what the shape is; whether that describes the fault or the form is not clear from the wording.
What Kills Speed
2 open
- Unresolved Whether and where the behind-center rule changes after H3.
- Unresolved How accumulated flight and ground-contact time are to be measured.
The Cue Set and left-left
1 open
- Needs the founder Definition of left-left for athletes who lead with the other leg, and the measuring method.
Three Races in One
1 open
- Needs the founder The H2-to-H10 drill system (SD-FI-013A) is not yet captured.
The Big Four
1 open
- Unresolved The measured distances for the step-two and step-four marks are athlete-specific and not recorded.
Dribble, Then Mike Tyson
3 open
- Unresolved The dribble has no independent mechanical description beyond the low quick hands and the lane-line resemblance.
- Ambiguity The walkthrough describes the Tyson through the trail arm; the earlier canon unit describes it through the lead arm. Both are preserved; the founder has not reconciled them.
- Needs the founder Whether the Mike Tyson appears at any hurdle after the first, and what the upper body cue is from H2 on.
The Slide
1 open
- Unresolved Where max velocity is reached, and interval-timing conventions, are not yet defined.
Accurate Hurdling at the Opening
1 open
- Unresolved Tolerance bands, exact measurements and measurement reliability for each checkpoint.
BOIL A FROG
1 open
- Unresolved Size, rate and frequency of the micro additions.
The Complete Equation
1 open
- Ambiguity The 2026-08-10 transcript mentions "even going 36 in. high on the women's side" in the overload passage; the founder's later boundary statement says females have never gone above race height. The later direct statement is the canon boundary; the earlier phrase is preserved and unreconciled.
The Seven Seasonal Headlines
1 open
- Unresolved Calendar placement and entry or exit criteria for each headline.
Readiness and Wellness
1 open
- Needs the founder Anchors for the 1-to-100 scales, the exact meaning of "outside of the 80s", and the action attached to it.
Time It, Film It, Play the Rhythm
1 open
- Unresolved Scoring, presets, miss behavior and distribution status of Rhythm is King.
Men's 110mH Tape
1 open
- Ambiguity Which men's metric display governs, 0.01 m or rounded-down tenths. The sources conflict; the founder has not ruled. Both are shipped and labelled.
The Tape Ladder Is the ABC Ladder
1 open
- Needs the founder The tape documents label the colors by purpose (max discount, heavy discount, moderate rhythm, race-feel opener) and do not name the A, B, C reps; the founder has not confirmed this mapping.
Practice Spacings and Heights
1 open
- Unresolved Hurdle heights by part of the season and by athlete.
What to Time
1 open
- Unresolved How left-left and accumulated contact and flight times are to be measured.
