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!

There are really two discussions here:
1. Does USRPT, as laid out by Rushall, work for 100s and 200s with its self-limiting short distance repeats? I say yes and I am not discussing that right now.
2. Does USRPT, as laid out by Rushall, work for 50s with its NON self-limiting short distance repeats? I say maybe not as well as it could. There are no failure criteria laid out for 4x6x12.5 or 10-15 all out turns or any other aspect of 50 training laid out by Rushall. This leads to non-race pace training.
I think you are confusing the two types of USRPT.
