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!

  • Makes sense but this only makes sense for even splitters. Does Rushall urge us to split evenly? Or do we train this way and pace our own way? Yes, he would suggest that you even split. Most people, and I have done it myself, go out too fast and pay the price at the end. My third all time Masters best 100 free was split 27.12 and 27.19. With the dive that is actually a negative split.
