Ultra Short Training At Race Pace

coachsci.sdsu.edu/.../ultra40a.pdf 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 read somewhere on SwimSwam last week that Michael Andrew will be swimming in a LCM meet as well as a SCY meet over the next two weeks. Some last minute NAG record hunting. It would be nice to see some groups of swimmers (age groupers as well as masters) with varying levels of ability and talent take on this training program for a period of time (6 months?), and document the results. I plan on doing this. I've just come back to swimming after a short hiatus, and without a coach to give me specific practices, Im going to be using this method only for the foreseeable future. I was wondering if anyone had any specific log or anything that would show me how to specifically set this whole thing up? Im reading the papers, since I forgot lots of the information. If anyone could help me set some workouts up, it'd be greatly appreciated. Currently training the 50 free, 100 free, 200 free, 100 ***, 200 ***, 200 IM.
