coachsci.sdsu.edu/.../ultra40a.pdf 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!

  • Help please! So in SCM, is this how I do it? 5 rounds of 6 x 25's on :30 holding 15 or under rest 100 easy in between fly/free/back/free/*** by round ==>this would be for my 100's of stroke & free. maybe even 50's. or rather, to appreciate the 50's more. attempt 30 x 25's on :30 sit out if I "miss" 15 and start with the next one. no problemo is I am doing this myself, but that would mean if you miss and your buddies don't, you are starting the next one at the opposite ends? or do you swim an easy one on the one your miss so you start together again? If I do 12.5's, then i'd have to swim easy to finish the 25, or do them as back half 12.5's to the wall, is that correct? And attempt to accelerate or increase velocity or whatever the term is - basically, don't just get to the 12.5 and totally tighten up? And there's really no way to accurately gauge my time?? Can you also do 1/2 pool with turn as the 25? Of course, you'd need a good push off which would be hard, but then you'd have a bunch of turn work?
