Swimming star Adam Peaty adjusts to life with no pool

The Hindu  

Cyclists and rowers can stay in top shape in their personal gyms even during the coronavirus shutdown but Olympic swimming champion Adam Peaty has to make do with no pool. “Swimming is one of those things where you can't really train unless you're in the water and unfortunately we're not going to be in the water for probably another three weeks, minimum,” Peaty told BBC Radio. “ gym in the house then a lot of running, a lot of cycling, but mainly just staying on top of the core.” Peaty's routine at the moment is far removed from his usual 10,000 metres in the pool on top of gym work, which means a change in his eating habits, too. you're probably looking at 4,500 calories, now I'm probably trying to stay around 2,500.” Peaty already has his sights set on peaking for the Olympics next year.
