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!
Really what I am saying is that a fast sprinter would have massive fatigue well before completion
The whole idea with USRPT is that you are not supposed to complete the entire set. It is self limiting. Three total failures or two failures in a row with the skip if missed and you are done. You never get to massive fatigue. If you can complete the set, it is too easy.
With traditional sets you are supposed to complete the entire set, but not with USRPT. We are so used to completing a traditional set, it is hard for some people to get used to USRPT sets and the concept of failure.
If you are failing every other one, as I was at one point, you are not doing the set. You need to change the target time.
