Coach notes
  • These are the founder's athlete-specific practice standards. Timing conventions and hurdle specifications are not attached to them.
  • In one filmed practice review summarized in a secondary source, the founder framed the reps to H1 as a progression: the A rep can be slow, B about 2.7, C about 2.6.
