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!
Is it possible with UST@RP to train for different events with each workout?
that's were i think it really fails.
as an example how would Michael Phelps train for the 400im, 200im, 200fly, 100fly, 200free and 100free using this method?
if you are trying to condition your muscles for 400im race pace, you wont be ready for the 200im. same on the others.
it would be even worse if you want to swim the 1500 and 400m.
training for the 100s and a single 50 (say like the kid michael andrews does) isnt very broad. except the strokes are also totally different.
again, may work for a few, may not. if it does for you great!
but 1 size does not fit all
