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!
You are supposed to fail miserably at first and get better over time. He expects some people to start failing 1/4 through the set the first time they try.
This matches my experience. It gets easier really quickly - like, every session you do better - but you hit a wall. At that point it becomes a big psychological struggle. Maybe someone with a coach or team could keep the motivation up, but I think it's too repetitive and exhausting to do it every workout solo. Twice a week is probably perfect.
