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!
Can you tell me, is there an adjustment period to the USRPT? I certainly dont expect any program to produce immediate results, but I got the impression that this would translate fairly quickly.
Hello SwimKat, is it possible that you are simply worn out, perhaps suffering from nervous system fatigue? Lots of hard sprinting (which it sounds like you're doing) can really drain the nervous system, and that is the sort of fatigue it is difficult to measure. I should know, it has happened to me many times. If USRPT does not allow for rest before competition, it should, especially for Masters swimmers.
