coachsci.sdsu.edu/.../ultra40a.pdf 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 agree with Glenn's comments about 20 x 50 @ 100 pace @ :20 rest being almost impossible for a masters sprinter. I would never even attempt this set. depends on if we are talking the 1st 50 of a 100 or 2nd 50 of a 100. would make a huge difference. i think i could make 2 of the 1st 50...with 10 MINUTES rest or 3 of the 2nd 50 with the same 10 MINUTES rest. 20? forget 20. i'd be laughing at thinking of even 6.
