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!

  • Thank you mmlr38 and Glenn for your input. I plan on doing usrpt on M, W, F when I have my own lane and the team workout the other days. I know this is a hedge but it's a start. I'll post my results after the lcm nationals. The 200 results look promising especially at 64. Yes, it is a start. That is good. You've got 13 weeks until LCM Nats. That may be enough time for USRPT to make a difference for you. My suggestion however, would be to focus on one event for your training. Other events will benefit, but training your body to go at one race pace time I think is a very good thing in the beginning.
