Ultra Short Training At Race Pace

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!

  • Fortress: I have read so much of his stuff that maybe sometimes I speak like him, with his occasionally abrasive tone toward everything that he doesn't explicitly endorse. As a result, I want to change "would" to "might" in my statement. His last bulletin had the words "impostors" and "ignorance" in just the first paragraph. He went on to claim that literally anything other than USRPT training is "irrelevant" and that high intensity training "must" be practiced only within the USRPT format. Sounds like Scientology, not science to me. I've been doing my own "research" along the way. And, at this juncture without actual science, I'm not convinced, though I am a race pace training advocate. So your use of "might" is appreciated. Is it possible to dabble in USRPT or do some sets regularly and get a training effect?
