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?
1. At true mile race pace for a typical middle-aged swimmer, that would be a tough set.
2. To scale up from Glenn's example, one would make the set even tougher by doing it twice, each set with 20-25 rather than 15-20 reps.
3. Lots of masters teams do sets like that occasionally. Very few masters swimmers and probably no teams do all of their training that way.
