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!

Hi Syd,
Mine has 3 separate operations/functions available and I believe one of function works as you describe above. One function (No. 1) allows you to set the time to the hundredth of a second. There is a round version of the TT and a version with a protruding area in the upper left portion of the trainer. I have the latter version which allows you to replace the battery. You can cycle through the functions by holding the top button down on the TT.
Hi Tom,
Then you have the same model as me: the Tempo Trainer Pro. I mainly use mine on Mode 2 which allows you to set it in 1 second increments from 00:01(1 second) to 9:59 (9 minutes, 59 seconds). This gives a triple beep every time it reaches the interval you set. I thought Mode 1 was only for stroke rate and never thought of adapting it the way you describe. But I see from glancing at the manual that it can be set in hundredths of a second from 00:20 to 99:99 which means I can, indeed, set it to beep at say 16:80 seconds. What an excellent idea. Thanks for that. :) The only drawback that I can see is that on Mode 1 it only gives a single beep so it could be easier to miss but i will just have to listen harder. i am off to the pool to try it immediately.
