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!
Glenn, how about:
2x (30 x 50 @ 1:15 - holding under :55) - LC 200 back
2x (30 x 25 @ :45 - holding under :25) - LC 100 back
Last time I swam a 100 back, I turned at 50 sec and died. Never raced 200 back, so that pace is a guess. Australian Nationals = April
The standard rest is :20 seconds for any repeat of 50 or more. The standard rest on 25s is :15 seconds, if you are doing the 25s for a 200.
You might also do all-out 25s on 3:00 trying to do 12 - 18 of them (that is Rushall's new protocol for race pace 50 training).
