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!
I have a meet May 31 where I want to swim well in the 200 BR without any taper(aiming for Montreal.) I have been doing more USRPT since it supposedly doesn't require a taper. Secondheart's comment about rest have really helped. Swimming 50s BR on the 1:20 have made for challenging but doable workouts,instead of frustration. Doing some free sets( if I do all BR sets my knees hurt) I have found that,for me, BR needs more recovery. 20 sec rest for 200 pace 50s free seems about like 40 sec rest in BR.
