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!

  • It's not sprinting, though. It's 400 pace. Not to say that's easy, but it's not all out, either. Knelson is right. These are not AFAP swims. I am training for the 400, not the 50 or 100. Although my 50 time in the meet was my fastest since the rubber suit era ended. Yes, a set of 30 x 50 on the :50 holding :32 is tough. It is supposed to be. If you were training for the 100 you would be doing sets of 20 x 50, also not very easy.
