The exact same thing happened to me while doing this program while i was an NCAA athlete. I was really good from Feb until end of May. Then struggled. If manipulated correctly i am positive it can work for any type of meet schedule. The length of phases etc will just have to change…
Different athletes can hold a “peak” longer than others. For sure. Being able to hold this is as much psychological as anything. Different athletes work differently. I used to struggle when the training load wasn’t high, mainly because i was convinced that i wasn’t doing enough training.
This program, the way i wrote it, is based mostly on athletes who can peak for indoors (march), shut it down and peak again for outdoors (july).
