Olympic gold medalist RyanLochte has been through a lot in the past few years. Here's how he turned around his daily routine and broke the cycle of a 'dark time' in his life. (via CNBCMakeIt)
"I lift weights on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and then I go pick up my son from school and feed him and try to put him down for a nap, which never works," he says.Lochte eats lunch. Typically, he says he eats a ready-to-eat meal from the food delivery service Freshly because the meals are about 500 calories. .: Lochte heads back to the pool for his afternoon swim practice.Lochte has dinner with his family, usually salmon or another type of fish with vegetables.
"I don't get recovery like other athletes because I have other obligations like being a dad, so I don't have the luxury of taking naps or going to bed whenever I want. So I've been trying to focus on sleep a lot of more," he says."When I was younger, I took it for granted. I would go out and party and still be able to perform in the pool, but now I can't do that," he says.
He says making next year's Olympic team would be extra special not only to show that he was able to pull himself out of a dark time, but it would be the first time, his family would be there to cheer him on.
