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!
Something else I've been wondering: I have several goal times in the different distance freestyle events. In the 1000, I'd like to go a 11:10 (holding 1:07s). In the 500, I'd like to go a 5:15 (holding 1:03s). Is it possible with UST@RP to train for different events with each workout? I know you're focused (exclusively?) on the 400 SCM. But say I want to focus on the 1650 race pace two days a week, the 1000 pace 2 days a week and the 500 pace the other two days. Is that something that's possible with UST@RP?
that's were i think it really fails.
This is really only a problem if you believe (as I definitely do not) that training at race pace for event X has little or no benefit for event Y. I think the overlap is considerable, especially if you are talking about things like the 500/1000.
