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!
You are doing the sets on :50 for freestyle. If someone was going to this set backstroke or fly, what interval would you recommend?
The rest is always the same for 50s and above, i.e.20 seconds. If you are doing 25s the rest is :15.
Just figure out what your race pace time is and add the 20 seconds to get your interval. Say you want to go a 1:10 100 fly. Each 50 would be :34 to a hand touch - (your feet should hit at :35 as they would on a touch pad). So in this case your interval would be :54 - but I would round up to :55 to make it easier to see on the clock.
