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!
Just read The Fortress post today and have to agree: -- it is a pet peeve of mine that coaches leave AFAP work for the end of practice when you're tired ... sprinting should be done fresh IMO.
In my opinion too - goes back to specificity of training - you never race a 50 free when you are dead ass tired, so why try and practice a 25 sprint at the end of the workout. START the workout with your meet warmup and then your FIRST set (if working sprints that day) should always be your sprints!
