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!
Thank you so much for the help!
I feel like if I work on my 100 pace though, my 50 will come down as well. Hopefully I can get some private coaching when its concerning Turns and Starts.
What I love about this method is you can actually see progression. Unlike those really long volume practices that you don't see statistic increases as linearly as you do with this method.
Your 50 potential will improve with the 100 pace work. And, yes, I find it quite gratifying to be able to gauge progress at every workout.
As far as 20 seconds rest on the 25's, I'm going to disagree, and suggest that you'll get more conditioning value out of doing the sets at a slightly slower pace at the recommended 15 second rest interval. If you have to have 20 seconds rest to make the critical mass of distance, you're probably outswimming your true current race pace.
