Matt Shirvington set a Personal Best and National Record in 1998, which stood until Patrick Johnson’s 9.93 back in 2003.


I thought you folks might be interested looking at the in-season program of Matt Shirvington from ’98 before setting his Australian record of 10.03. If any of you can get through a week of this sort of training, then you’re a better man than I!
