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!

For 100 free, time is :55.3 - right now Im holding mostly :15s with a handful of :14s. I know I should be targeting :14s, but I havent because I would fail the set too early.
For 100 fly, time is 1:03.0 - right now Im holding mostly :16s with a handful of :15s. That should be right on track (though I know Im capable of a much faster time with the right training, Ive been :27.1 in the 50 fly).
Im not doing weights because of time limitations only. I absolutely would be doing them if I could fit it in, but if I only have 3 workouts a week I feel they should all be in the pool.
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.
I was not correct when I said there is a team doing usrpt the way you do. I was thinking of something else.
The only reasons that I can think of to legitimately target times slower than race pace would be:
1. you are super hairy and you normally never go near your best times unless you shave
2. you are recovering from injury
Do you know you can fail 3 times, not just once?
