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
I think the table on page 22 of this document shows the types of sets based on the distance you are training for quite well:

we don't follow USRPT exactly so by definition we are not doing USRPT but do follow a lot of Rushalls principles. We do:
16x50 at 200 race pace on :55(Wednesday's) - my goal time is :26
16x25 at 100 race pace on :30(Friday's) - my goal time is :12
16x100 at 500 race pace on 2mins(Saturday's) my goal is :57
I really should be doing the 50s on :50 based on Rushalls :20 second rest rounded up to the nearest 5 seconds rule. We don't do the failure exactly as prescribed but do skip if we fail on our goal time. With 16 I typically either make all 16 or fail once. We are doing these sets every week.
