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!
why do you do the 75s with the same rest as the 50s?
currently nobody on the planet earth can do a 75 and not hit into atp depletion.
In USRPT there are only two amounts of rest, :15 rest when doing 25s and :20 rest when doing 50s, 75s or 100s. Remember, you do these as "skip if missed" and when you have two failures in a row (including extra rest) or four failures in the set, you are done with the set. So although the sets of 50s is written as 30 x 50, you should never ever be able to do all 30, ever. Same with the 75s. I think the actual set is 20 x 75, whatever, you are not supposed to make all of them. If you do, the set is too easy. You are supposed to fail before you get to the end of the set.
