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!

Read the article and a few comments. It implies if this training is done correctly, it can be done more frequently than every 48 hrs. I question this as the central nervous system can be overtaxed. I don't think you can train like this day after day. Where does that leave us? What do we do all the other days? Training at or below threshold. Where does this fit into a progression? A 45-60 second effort is 40% aerobic. You need this training as we'll.

Rushall's bulletin 45a recommends 3-4 times per week for each event. I said 3 so I wasn't too far off. You may be right about the CNS getting overtaxed. I have heard of coaches who do the training described in 45a and they say that sometimes it is a disaster for the remainder of the week after having a good workout on Monday. Peter Andrew seems to prefer 2 sets per workout as opposed to the 4 described in bulletin 45a. Maybe Peter Andrew knows best.
