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!
What I notice is missing is the burn from lactic acid build up I get from my usual HIT sets.
How does one "measure" lactic acid build up? I too have been doing these sets for the past week or so now. I think my body is responding well to the workouts. I love the warm, tired feeling after completing the sets, especially the 2 x 25 100s at race pace, but I don't feel overworked. I've been an endurance athlete my entire life (running until my knee stopped working a couple of years ago and switching to swimming then), and I guess I don't know what lactic acid build up might feel like. While doing these sets, I do get the extreme burning that results from doing high intensity training. Is that the burn? But perhaps at a lower level than you're talking about?
