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!
It's been a couple weeks and I'm getting into better shape, so I thought I'd update this list of work-rest ratios.
50's @ 100 pace - still haven't tried repeats of this. Under practice conditions, 50's @ 100 pace are AFAP.
25's @ 100 pace - 1:2
25's & 50's @ 200 pace - 1:1 - 1:1.2
50's @ 400/500 pace - 1:1
50's, 75's, or 100's @ 1650 free pace - 2:1
50's @ 400/500 pace will probably be the next one to change. If I drop 5 seconds off that interval, the ratio would be about 1.3:1.
