I am trying this out now for 200 free and 400 IM. I do 12x50 @55, trying to hold 31,5. I've managed 10 reps at the most so far. For IM I train each stroke separately. I haven't raced since I started this, but it gets easier in practice each week. All my training is SCM, btw.
I have been doing this before for the 1500, 15x100 @1.25, trying to hold all reps sub 1.10, but then just occasionally and just the last six seven weeks before meets.
Rushall says the distances should be shorter (12,5 to 15 m), also the time that you swim very active.( 15 sec).
You swim very impressive sets but they differ from the Ultra short theory.
