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!
i dont see how this works for elite 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 think it works better for 500 and over! If you are swimming a set of 500s you could do 2 x (24 x 75s). If you are doing 800 you can do 2 x (36 x 50) or 2 x (30 x 75). If you are doing 1500 you can do 2 x (25 - 30 x 100).
My time in the 800 at the SCM meet was also my fastest in 4 years and the water was way too warm!
Just because no one is doing it doesn't mean it doesn't work. Even the "elite" swimmers are not doing the mega yards they did in the 70's and 80's. It is no longer in vogue to do 20K a day.
