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!
Just passing this on, I've been using a pace device (tempo trainer pro) which is very useful in forcing me to get a consistent start when doing a set of 25s or 50s (usrpt 1:1). I set the pace timer to 10 seconds and swim 20x25s breaststoke at a 200 pace on 40 seconds (trying to get to the wall before the second beep). I believe this is more consistent then using a standard digital/analog clock because it prevents you from cheating (which I did a lot:)). For a 100 pace I'll set it to 9.50 or 9.00.
That's a great idea... I'm always struggling just to see the pace clock (w/ my bad eyesight, or droopy backstroke flags, or no clocks at all sometimes); the aural stimulus is a great solution.
