TEN ESSENTIALS OF SPRINTING BY SAM FREAS

1. Race every day in practice.

2. Swim at 100% speed all year long, not just during a taper.

3. Swim superfast all year long, not just during a taper.

4. Always work dryland to improve the components of fitness: strength,
cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, agility and flexibility.

5. Work on starts, turns and finishes almost every day in practice
(at least five workouts per week).

6. Practice swimming with no breath during a 50 and with only a few breath
during a 100. This gives better body position and better speed.

7. Execute a high kick with the heels nine to fifteen inches out of the water...
This a gives better body position.

8. Practice reaction drills every day.

9. Change the training if a loss of speed results due to the trashing of the
cardiovascular system or overtraining of the neuromuscular system.

10. Be happy, don't worry; get plenty of sleep and eat healthily.
