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!
I ask this of Glenn, Leslie, Rich Abrahams, and THOMMED: As a drop-dead sprinter, and the occasional 200 free/200 *** swimmer, how should my weekly swim workouts look? Need I incorporate HIT and USRPT? Throw in a few broken 200s here and there? I'm swimming only 50s and 100s at Nats but I still relish the thought of developing into a decent 200 free/breaststroker. Any suggestions?:bow:
For what it's worth from me, the 50 and the 200 are very different races that require different training. You need to choose what you are going for. But I think you have already done that - you are training for the 50 and 100! If you train HIT or USRPT for those races you will do well. And, you should be able to do a "decent" 200 as well (you need to define decent for yourself).
The 200 is about proper energy usage. The 50 is about a great start, break out, breath control, turn over, streamline, turn and finish (and probably a few other things that I don't do).
If you train exclusively either HIT or USRPT for 50 & 100, your 200 will benefit as well
