Davis 2011, The methods of Renato Canova

Coaching analysis of Canova’s percentage-of-race-pace system, periodisation (introductive, fundamental, special and specific periods) and special blocks, drawn from his Letsrun posts. It profiles several of his elite athletes — Moses Mosop, Duncan Kibet, James Kwambi and Saif Saaeed Shaheen — and concludes that Canova “has coached dozens of athletes to world-class performances and he is arguably the most successful coach in the world”. Coaching practice, not trial-tested; limited.
