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!
Don't do 50's on 100 pace!
Yeah, forget those! I would be one and done.
What interval are you using for your 25s @ 100 pace? Remember :20 rest may not work for some masters. I would opt for slightly more rest, maybe :30 instead. And I think the prescribed USRPT set is actually 30 x 25 @ 100 pace if you're doing 25s.
I do some USRPT sets (for 100s), but use a hybrid approach to training. I don't think USRPT alone is the best way to train for sprints anyway; you need mega rest HIT work too. Does USRPT even apply to long course or have sets designed for long course? I like what Bob Bowman said about USRPT recently: It's good for you, like spinach is good for you, but that doesn't mean it's the only thing you eat.
