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!

  • I decided to commit more to USRPT but I'd had problems with the concept of going to failure. Rereading Rushall and the idea that adaptation comes from failure made me see it in a different light as something to be strived for.This has changed my attitude about the sets. Allen, Sounds like you have got it! FYI, if you google USRPTIA and go to the website, look at the second column under Webinars, then click on "webinars up and coming". There is one entitled "USRPT for Masters" that will be available October 1. It will discuss "failure" as it relates to USRPT in detail among other things.
