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 thought the prescribed rest for AFAP 25s was 4-5:00 minutes, not 3:00?
Page 5.4 and 5.5. Rushall has a maximum rest of 4:00 (page 5.4 chart) but also states that for those who want more volume, 3:00 is OK too. The idea seems to be that you want full recovery. If it takes 3 minutes, fine, if it takes 4 minutes, fine. There is the consideration from the coaches perspective of a set of up to say 12 repeats taking 48 minutes on a 4 minute interval, while at 3 minutes it takes 36. I did 13 today on the 3 minutes, then took ten minutes rest and did another 12 fly on 3 minutes. So for me, 3 minutes is enough.
