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!
Point taken. But I just don't see how I could do his workouts if I was training for the 100. That would mean 50s going 26 to a hand touch. And that would probably be 20 x 50 where I should be expected to do 12 - 14 including 4 failures. Not only could I not do those on a :20 rest, but I couldn't do them on a :30 rest and maybe not even 1:30.
Right; but if you're training for a 100 instead of a 200, 400, or longer, you would probably want to do interval 25s instead of 50s... that's the ultra-"short" concept. I do interval 100s now to train for 1500, 50s to train for 200-400, and 25s for the 100s.
