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!

the only time you rest is if you miss one (except for the first 5)
Hey Glenn,
So for the first 5, even if you miss your goal time you keep going? Or you skip and rest but dont count it towards your 4 total failures?
Ive tried twice now to do a set of 30 x 25s free and both times Ive missed an early one but then do better for the rest of the set. But I have been skipping when I miss, which kinda helps me "reset" and do better from there. Is that wrong? Am I supposed to just keep going until I miss one after rep 5?
Also after the free, Ive been doing a mini set of 25s fly but using short fins. Its the only way for me to keep my stroke together and maintain race pace. My thought is maybe after a month or so I can try taking them off.
Lastly I am only planning to do this once a week. Does that defeat the purpose, or will there still be a benefit? I assume there will be some benefit because I did significantly better this week than last week.
