Ultra Short Training At Race Pace

Former Member

coachsci.sdsu.edu/.../ultra40a.pdf 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!

  • See Rushall B. S. (2013). USRPT and the non-taper. Swimming Science Journal – Swimming Science Bulletin 45d. As you have probably figured out by now, I am a big believer in USRPT. It is based on science and I believe that is one of the keys to it's appeal, certainly to me. How much of that science is based upon studies that included or were exclusively with Masters swimmers? There is not much research done on or with Masters swimmers. So if you take the USRPT concepts a step further especially when you consider specificity, I am not sure that all of the concepts apply as well as they might apply to age groupers. I work very hard in the pool. My body needs rest. Today was a perfect example. I got to #15 in my set of 30 x 50 and already had three failures... I went into the jacuzzi for 10 minutes, took a shower, and went home. Actually since Rushall says that USRPT is self-limiting, it was self-limiting today.
