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!

It would seem to me, that if you want to focus on 50s and 100s, you are better off converting the transitional fibers to fast twitch mode to maximize power.Am I missing something?
I don't recall Rushall discussing transitional fibers, do you? Presumably they are an intermediate kind of fiber that converts to fast twitch in response to training. If so, is there any reason to think that race-pace training, which is hard, fast, and tough, would not do the trick?
