Here's an easy way to explain the Rule of Specificity to those new to USRPT using a math analogy:

Traditional training is like "addition", while an actual race is like "multiplication". While learning addition contributes to learning multiplication [e.g. (3 + 3 + 3) = (3 x 3)], nothing prepares you for a test on multiplication (i.e. racing) better than working on your times tables everyday.

USRPT is like times tables for multiplication.

Study for exactly what's on the test.

Try it out. Hope it helps!
