USRPT (Ultra-Short Race Pace Training) replaces yardage with 20-30 repeats at exact race pace, with 15-30 second rest that prevents heart rate from dropping. Targets are tight — ±0.2 seconds — and athletes pick their own gold time. When the target becomes consistent, you shave the goal time down. Sean notes that most athletes who attempt a full USRPT set with him can't get through half of it. The fail point is the stress point: if you're not failing, you're not stressing enough.
