There is a method, which is referred to as the Rushall method which Michael Andrew uses.
Was wondering if you had any critique about this. If this sort of training is a good idea and what are the problems.
Would this also be good for longer events? Like the 400 IM?
Thanks!

Over the years in certain seasons, I've trained in that way & had great results. Also Dan O Thompson who wrote the cliff notes is a friend of mine and a former world record holder in the 50 FL when he was 40 - 44 & maybe 45 - 49. I've seen him at a few meets this past year.
Ultra short might work for longer events.
Michael Andrew has had very impressive results. He's just 14 and recently went 23.47 in the 50 LCM Free which was his 1st NR in the 13/14 age group.

I'm curious to see how his progress.
He does have incredible speed. He is a huge 14 year old 6'4" / 178.
His 200's aren't as good as his 100's
His 100's aren't as good as his 50's.
He's better SCY than LCM
There's many boys equal speed in their 50's, who are much faster in their 100's & 200's. (they're older)
My concerns are:
Will he burn out from years of intense coaching by his dad?
Is he is an early bloomer?
Will his progression slow down when he stops growing?
By training Ultra Short, will he ever build the necessary base to bring home his LCM 100's & 200s?
Time will tell, Times will tell.
