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!

    Before I can answer that, I have a few questions. How frequently can you train? What are your recent best times for the events? How would you prioritize the events in importance? I can train 7 times a day, but the best is M-F. Honestly I havent gotten a true best time in a while. Im really out of conditioning right now after taking a pretty long break. But my best times before this hiatus were: All in yards: 50 free: 26:30 or something 100 free: 57 mids 100 *** : like 1:12 I know the times aren't that great,w asn;t in exactly peak conditioning then or now. Im gonna be experimenting next 2 weeks with this , and then I have to take a very short hiatus due to some personal reasons, then back at it for the forseeable future. The events that I prioritize the most are 50 free and 100 free. These 2 are the major ones I'm focused on. Im really looking to get in the 21s in the 50 and maybe break 50 in the 100 in the next 2 years. Thanks! Also coachsci.sdsu.edu/.../47GUIDE.pdf Fantastic step by step paper for starting a training program with USRPT.
