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!
Curious about the successes and/or disappointments of those who used USRPT this season and competed in the SCY Masters Nationals.
I'm probably not one to base any judgement on due to the fact I have never swum competitively in my life until a couple of years ago and have had essentially no coaching. Having said that, I did do a lot of USRPT in the months leading up to SCY Nationals. I swam personal bests in every event I swam (disclaimer: I've done this in essentially every meet of my life since I started swimming competitively in December 2011).
I got under 25 seconds for the first time in a 50 (a rolling start in a relay) and went a sub 19 minute 1650. So I was able to swim my fastest times for everything from a 50 up to a 1650. I think this was in large part due to the USRPT training I did.
