What I find interesting about Povy's post and his comments on leg speed is his lack of use of the motor at the track. Both Roger Young and Travis Smith at VSC use the motor and Travis uses it a lot. However, both Travis and Roger are licensed or allowed to motor pace at the track and I do not think that Lee is. He would have to hire a motor pacer and share fees or pass on the cost to clients.
I motor pace a lot and I do not listen to the negative comments by some coaches that pursuiters must push the wind or sprinters blah blah blah. I think the motor drills that Travis and Roger use build leg speed, power and endurance and it is a lot more fun than pushing the wind. However, pushing the wind is also and integral part of training and I do that as well.
When I work out at Hellyer, I hire my own motor and do some of the motor drills that Travis and Roger use at VSC because I agree with Lee that leg speed is important and the right use of the motor has helped me a lot.
