Alan Webb's intense training regimen, including extensive post-run drills, may have led to overtraining.

“he has such a good work ethic that sometimes it comes back to bite him like we'd be on the track in Europe and he go does his run and then he's doing like hurdle drills and plios and all this stuff for like hours afterwards and we're all like have left and we're showered up and eating and he's like still out there grinding right so he just like would be so intensely focused that  you know when it was clicking it was great but I think sometimes he kind of overcooked himself a little bit”
