Sam Short reacts to breaking Grant Hackett & Ian Thorpe's Records

Sam Short just had the summer of his dreams. He swept the 400m, 800m, and 1500m freestyle events, cementing his status as Australia's next great distance legend by taking down records held by his childhood heroes: Ian Thorpe and Grant Hackett!In this episode of the Propulsion Swimming Podcast, we catch up with Sam (bright and early on UK time!) to discuss his all-conquering year. Sam reveals the brutal reality of international travel for Aussie swimmers, why he ignores his Oura ring when it tells him he's exhausted, his desperate hunt for a sub-3:40 in the 400m Freestyle, and the absolutely INSANE race-pace training set he threw down before trials.
