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!
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.
oh how i wish some of those days had ONLY been 20k.
and not 21 or 22+
you cant get to 120,000lcm in 11 workouts without breaking a few eggs
i'll bet Sun Yang does quite a few meters. as did Grant Hacket.
all i know is that swimmers train way more than any other sport for the little amount of time spent in the actual competition.
