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 do the 30 x 50 sets on Monday and Friday and the 2 x (40 x25) sets on Tue/Th. Wednesday I do 75's or 100s. The reason it is not boring is that I am always trying to get fewer failures and to push the first failure later and later. That is the challenge every single day. I also work on speeding up at the flags sometimes or counting strokes or hitting the turn faster. I never find it boring.
I also have a measure from day to day and week to week as to my progress. I also throw in a time trial evry week or two. Sometimes at the end of the sets and sometimes at the beginning. Then I can compare my times against a rested time trial or a fatigued time trial.
Glenn,
You are doing the sets on :50 for freestyle. If someone was going to this set backstroke or fly, what interval would you recommend?
