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!

Hello, Ande. Glad you saw my post. Just go to Rushall's site (Swimming Science Journal). It's all there, along with the science that supports it. Ever since my daughter switched over to middle-distance track (6th at age-group nationals), where there is no penalty for being of average height, I have not been as current on USRPT in swimming, though I have had fun adaptiing it to running. Cameron was handling the day-to-day at the USRPT Panel, but he may now be tied up a bit with his studies at Yale (hard science major). However, I just discovered that Dr. R. has recently written several articles of topical interest in Swimming Science Bulletin (in the SSJ), including Adapting to the USRPT Format and Understanding a USRPT Set, and has made an effort to simplify his language for us laymen. Yes, still in Keller. --Dan
