I find it so odd that guys go fast on programs like that (which they obviously do judging by past championships), as there appears to be virtually no fast work–not even in the intensive tempo!
There actually is speed work (speed endurance mostly) in the program but it doesn't really come in until right before the season. For example, the 200m workout times drop off throughout the season to the point that they are essentially speed endurance work.
