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!
nor any distance over 500 even for masters.
i could be quite wrong but i just dont think anyone is willing to try it for a season to "test it"
I don't see why a swimmer couldn't do a set of say 16 to 20 x 100's with 20 sec rest, holding a mile pace?
A couple weeks ago, as part of my team workouts, we did just that. Paul assigned each of us goal times, then the interval was that + 20 (we rounded up to the nearest 5/10 for simplicity). My interval was 1:35, with a goal of under 1:15 on each.
Actually, Paul gives us even shorter sets, like 50s @ 50, for me holding :35 or better. He adjusts both the interval and goal time, mostly based on lane (who is in the lane on that day).
So yes some teams actually do train like this. And to think he usually passes this off as a distance set ;)
