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!
This month's Swimming World has some interesting stuff on USRPT. First there is an article on Michael Andrew.In the "How They Train"part it was a workout from 2 days before his record in the 100 fly. 150 warm up,then 20X25 fly goal time 11.70 with 15 sec rest.He had no fails but stopped at 20 due to the up coming meet.Next he did 15 min "rest"working on starts and transitions. Then he did 25s BR with a target time of 13.50.He had 2 fails in a row at 15 and stopped. After a warm down he did 4X25 overspeed off the blocks with"as much rest as he wanted"and was finished.
They also had an article on USRPT which was reasonable balanced with a good amount from Rushall and comments from coaches that were mostly either "we do some of that" or"we need more people using it before we'll try it on our swimmers."
