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!

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.
I'm gonna try to get a coach that I can get to look at my starts and turns.
I wanna see how fast I can improve in a year and a half using this technique.
As I am 15 years old, nearing 16,
Would you say its reasonable to aim for
100 free 57 mid to 48 high
50 Free 26 low to 21 high
100 ***: 1:15 ( Not much training in this at all) to 1:00/
I realize its impossible to give a straightforward 'this is how much you can lose by this time.' as there are uncontrollable factors, but do you think this is at least possible?
