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!
Yea, after reading more carefully, I realize it is not for fast swimming, rather more like 80% effort. I am going to try holding 25 sec for 33 yds and go on 45. (20sec rest) and see how many I can do. I'm not sure where the " race pace" title comes from. I think for 200 race pace, yes, the 20 sec rest makes sense, but for 50 and 100, I think race pace is anaerobic and you don't train at that speed on 20 sec rest. I think pacing for a 100 is 3:1 rest swim ratio, so that would be more like 50s at goal 100 pace on 2 min as an example.
