RER: exactly how long have you been swimming?
Jordan: I have been swimming on a swim team since I was seven years old, so about 18 years! I’ve been on the national team now for 10 years.
RER: exactly how much do you train each week?
Jordan: I train eight times a week in the water for two hours each practice. I swim Monday through Saturday as well as have doubles on Tuesdays as well as Thursdays. I likewise lift weights three times a week, bike one or two times a week, as well as do yoga/stretching.
(RER: suddenly my runs seem like a slow walk in the park…)
RER: What is a typical day of training like for you?
Jordan: now that I am so close to Rio, my only focus is training. On a Tuesday, I will wake up at about 7:00 am, eat a banana, as well as head to practice. practice will be from 9:30-11:30 am. After practice, I eat lunch as well as take a nap or read until my second practice at 4:00 pm. I swim once again 4:00-6:00 pm. depending on the day, sometimes I will teach a few private swim lessons after my second practice. I love coaching, so I try to fit in a few lessons throughout the week!
RER: What do you eat before a swim meet?
Jordan: My morning meal before a swim satisfy would probably be eggs, a piece of whole wheat toast with peanut butter, as well as some type of fruit.
RER: What do you eat after?
Jordan: After a Camiseta Watford FC swim meet, instantly I will drink some strawberry milk, which helps with my recovery. (Chocolate milk is amazing for recovery too, however I don’t like chocolate.) For dinner after a meet, I’ll usually have grilled poultry as well as vegetables with some brown rice. If the satisfy is over, I’d probably celebrate by eating pizza! It’s my favorite!
(RER: It’s my preferred too!!)
RER: Do you have any type of mantra or motivational phrase you tell yourself when you’re having a challenging race or workout?
Jordan: When I’m having a challenging workout, I don’t think it’s a phrase that gets me through, it’s more of a feeling. I think about exactly how it feels to represent team USA as well as stand on the podium. Standing on the podium while the national anthem plays is the most remarkable feeling as well as it can motivate me to keep going every time.
RER: The team 24 athletes come from different sports, however all are aiming for Rio – exactly how was it working with them?
Jordan: Being a part of team 24 is amazing since we are all striving towards the same goal. Thankfully, I was able to go to an event with Lex (Lex Gillette, 3-time Paralympic medalist) as well as Alysia (Alysia Montaño, 7-time national champion, Track & Field, 2012 Olympian) earlier this month as well as both of them were able to motivate me in different areas.
Lex is an extremely determined as well as passionate person. He helped me intensify my focus for Rio. He’s likewise fantastic at encouraging me. He will send me random texts to see exactly how my workouts are going. He’s an amazing person to have in my corner.
Alysia inspires me since she is an incredible mom, wife, as well as athlete. Her capability to balance all of those roles is remarkable; as well as she does it with grace as well as strength that astounds me! Overall, being on team 24/Team USA is phenomenal since we are much better as well as stronger together. I discover strength as well as support in my teammates as well as I hope they feel the same about me.
(The team 24 athletes helped launch a team USA Bootcamp workout program now in all 24 hour physical fitness clubs.)
*RER fun fact: I met Camiseta Manchester United Alysia Montaño when I ran the LA Marathon with Asics a few years ago!*
RER: What do you think about 24 hour physical fitness producing a group exercise program inspired by the team USA partnership?
Jordan: I was honored to discover out that they were producing a group exercise program based on my workouts. I was able to take part in the exercise class itself as well as it was so fun! It’s high energy as well as works every muscle! since they put together an exercise format made up of a variety of team USA athlete workouts, there is definitely something for everybody to enjoy!
