She's a Paralympic Swimmer and World Champ, and This Is Her Training Routine For Tokyo

"We began our training session with soft tissue work. Typically on Thursdays, my body needs a little more attention. One of the pinch points for me is at my level of paralysis — it's where tension seems to build as I put a lot of strain on it through training. Today we focused on cupping throughout that area of my back.

After a warmup, my main set was a circuit with high rows on the Kaiser, dumbbell clean and presses, and a few exercises focused on core strength. My trainer, Russ Linville, gets creative with our workouts and always finds new ways to challenge my body to build not just strength but stability. It has been fun working through that process and trying new things along the way."

"Going to the pool my body felt extremely sore – while I've had a good week of training and performed well throughout, my body has also been a bit beat down this week. Today was another day of focusing on my mental strength and remaining mentally strong, despite feeling beaten down physically. My main set was 10x100m freestyle following by 1x500m freestyle, then back into 10x100s. All in all, I held pretty steady throughout the set, which was my goal."
