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!
What age groups are we talking about? A lot of the high intensity stuff is great for masters and college sprinters, but does not translate to age group learning to swim. For that, I like high volume aerobic training up to senior level.good for developing aerobic capacity. It rewards technique development, which is crucial for developing swimmers. A lot of this is true for new swimmers regardless do their biological age. If the training age is young, masters included, I would emphasize a lot of below threshold training. If you already have a stroke, go for the sprint based workouts. That's the way to drop time!
