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!

Glenn Gruber also set his first individual world record with a 4:55.10 in the 400 freestyle in the 65-69 age group. Gruber shaved a few tenths off Tom Landis' seven-year-old world record of 4:55.56 in the process.
Gruber, 65, told Swimming World that he began using the Ultra-Short Race Pace Training program in September with the explicit goal of breaking the record.
"USRPT is all about race pace," Gruber said. "It makes sense to me to train at the speed you are going to race. All I kept saying behind the blocks before the race was, 'Do what you do every day in practice.'"
The result was not only a world record, but Gruber's fastest swim in the 400 free since 2010.
Nice swimming and congratulations on the WR!
