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!

    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. I negative split hard. I always find negative splitting the best pacing option. Sort of like James Magnusson he'll be 7th off the wall and on the way back he'll destroy his opposition. So I can do this training and still negative split?
