Logically if the 70% load produces records, why to increase the load to a "100%" which would just produce slower times as per what was said at 11:09.....the load differs from individual to individual, and how the body reacts, improves, recovers is not set in stone, obviously 30% more load would also take energy away, as opposed to generate it, and would increase the risk of injury, fatigue etc...!
Having a greater aerobic capacity by increasing the base phase would allow a greater use of oxygen, when in the business end of the race. The kick doesn't come exclusively from fast twitch muscles fibres or doing more anaerobic work, it primarily comes from the ability to take in and use more oxygen (grow mitochondria, cappilarization, et al)......but obviously done in a carefully meted out plan of growth.
I don't think in the UK, there is this big difference in status between professional and what Americans would call amateur athletes. In the States the difference is very clear.
There's a lot more money invested into US athletics. In the US you see collegiate athletes competing in stadiums that you only really see pros compete in, in Europe.
