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!
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.
I'm going by table 2 (page 12) of Rushall's bulletin #47 coachsci.sdsu.edu/.../47GUIDE.pdf In it he suggests 30 x 25 and 20 x 50 at race pace for training for the 100. Training for the 200 he suggests 40 x 25, 30 x 50 and 20 x 75. For the 400 he suggests the same as the 200 except 24 x 75. The 800 is 50 x 25, 36 x 50 and 30 x 75. Only in the 1500 does he go above 75 e.g., he suggests 40 x 50, 30 - 35 x 75 and 25 - 30 x 100.
