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!

Allen,
Rushall suggests 25s for training for the 100. I wasn't having much success with the 75s at race pace for my 400 so he suggested I use that day, Wednesday, to do 25s at 100 race pace. I'll try that this week. He also suggests that on 25s to do it to a foot touch. Easier when doing a flip turn, but on ***, I don't know, do the pullout and as soon as your head pops up look at the clock. Or do the turn and rather than a pullout, just look at the clock. I'm am not sure on this one as I am very BR handicapped!
We know that doing 50s with 20s rest at 100 pace will stimulate lactic production. That's the issue.
I reckon you could do a good set in blocks of 3 or 4 with a recovery swim between each block. I know that's not USRPT.. ..but I don't think that you have to be a purist about these things.
