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 am pretty sure that if I could swim 20x50@200 pace on :20 RI, it would not be my 200 pace any more. I think my record is 5.
