McEvoy's championship build uses a 'double taper' structure — an initial taper for trials, then a mid-block taper inside a high race-volume block, then a final taper for the championship meet. The architecture sandwiches two deliberate de-loads inside a high-density racing period, replacing the conventional single pre-championship taper. Tim Lane has now scaled this same template across 100+ events for multiple athletes, with Andre Barn dropping 21.9→21.4 and Santo hitting a 21.6 PB at Singapore as replication evidence.
