coachsci.sdsu.edu/.../ultra40a.pdf 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!

  • So with UST with several fails within a set at race pace, would 26 seconds rest be the basic resting time between efforts? No, your interval should allow for only 20 seconds rest if your repeats are 50, 75 or 100. If you are doing 25s the rest is :15. So if you are doing a set of 50s trying to hold a pace of :30, your sendoff time would be on the :50. Or, if you are doing 50s and your goal pace is :40, your sendoff time would be 1:00.
