I hear ya...I searched and didn't find any backup info. It doesn't build in periodization, which is something that I've learned is important for me. But I think it's catchy to tout it as a 6 week program, which it is for some folks like Grits (!) and it's a period of time that you can think about pretty clearly. I like having something to follow, so I will stick with it for a while (hopefully most of the winter).

At my current rate, I figure I'll be able to do 100 pups straight in about 10 weeks (I am doing toe, or "regular", pups). My initial test was 24. My exhaustion test today was 53, meaning an improvement of 29 in 5 weeks. I'm definitely at some sort of a plateau, though. I think it's going to be hard to break through and keep up all of my other activities. I'm starting to think about skiing a lot now that the mountains have SNOW ON THEM!!!!
