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!

  • Please post more examples of USRPT sets Here are mine: 2 x ( 30 x 50 @ :50 -- holding 29s or better) -- EZ 100 or 200 between the two sets - Pacing primarily for 200/400 2 x ( 25 x 75 @ 1:10 -- holding 48s or better) -- with an EZ 100 or 200 between the two sets - 400/800 pacing 2 x ( 20 x 100 @ 1:30 -- holding 1:06s or better) -- with an EZ 100 or 200 between the two sets - 800/1500 pacing I religiously do the 100s every Sunday. Sometimes I do 2 sets of 25 100s. I try to do the 50s one day a week too, usually Tuesday or Wednesday, but sometimes I mix things up. And if I'm bored with 50s or feel like I need more turn practice, I will occasionally do the 75s These sets have definitely helped me with pacing for the 200 and 400 and with my conditioning and pacing for the 800/1500.
