About this episode
Sprint coach Herbie Behm: you only need 6-8 x 50's in practice to train for the 100 yard freestyle.
In this clip, Coach Behm reveals some of his favorite sprint swimming sets and how his main 50's set has evolved over time.
Also some interesting insight into Ryan Held's efficiency not allowing him to take a 2nd breath and what he learned from that experience in the 100 Free at SC World Championships.
