Would seem that this could tie into Lucid Dreaming and Dream Control. Wonder what would happen if the same workouts were done while dreaming. Same results?
Probably not, because the relevant bits are probably too disconnected. I've often dreamed of running down the road at ~50mph, complete with proprioceptive cues that I am running, and I can't say I've seen an effect.
I'm not talking just about dreaming, I'm talking about lucid dreaming and dream control. If you're not lucid in your dreams, then I don't think it's too ridiculous of me to assume that those dreams are "normal" for you, so you wouldn't expect to see any improvement, even if dreaming about things like that could offer improvement.
What I'm talking about is people who can realize they are dreaming, and then make a concerted effort to consistently use that time for mental training like the article mentions. That seems far more likely to yield results than sporadic running dreams.
