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 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.
Yes, but can you imagine doing this same set every day? That's the part I can't wrap my head around. It seems like it would be very boring to do the same sets day in and day out.
