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!
Good job Chowmi!
1. I just accept that I'm going to get winded in these sets. I end up breathing every stroke after a few reps, so I have to swim faster to compensate.
2. If I did this set today, I would be doing these on 40 seconds.
3. That's up to you. I generally try to increase my reps and decrease my intervals over time.
4. Yes.
5. I find that doing 50's at 200 pace forces me to work my turns pretty hard, but I'm no sprinter. I don't know how to train for super-fast turns, since I've never done one :-)
