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!
Another question for Glenn -- did you taper at all for your meet? I would think masters might need to taper despite Rushall saying you don't.
Yes, but I wouldn't call it anything like a traditional taper. I did my normal workout up until the Monday of the week of the meet. The meet started on Friday and I did half the normal workout on Monday and Tuesday, took Wednesday off and did a meet warm-up on Thursday.
I go by your words of wisdom Leslie, "rest is your friend"!!!
