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!

Someone should make a race pace chart for all the other events as well! That chart seems so helpful. My first major experience with this type of training coming up this week.
Also how do I tell weather or not I should move on to a faster pace? I heard Michael Andrew's dad say you should o it once you can complete the race 2 and a half times.
The guideline from Dr. Rushall is when you can complete ~75% of the target reps (say, 15 out of 20 25s without a failed rep) as specified in the chart on page 6 of Bulletin 40B, you should adjust the difficulty of the set.
This can involve reducing the rest period, or increasing the goal pace.
