Track Athlete Eilish McColgan in Two-Piece Workout Gear Has One of Her "Best Sessions"

Keely Hodgkinson, a rising star in track and field, has made waves on the global stage. After winning silver in the 2021 Olympics, she clinched gold in the 800 meter at this year's Olympics, solidifying her status as a top athlete. Before her triumphant performance, Hodgkinson graced the pages of ELLE UK, sharing stunning photos from the shoot on Instagram with the caption, "This was so fun." Curious about how she maintains her peak physical condition? Read on to discover five ways Keely Hodgkinson stays in shape and see the photos that prove her methods work.

1. She Does A Split 800 Meter

Hodgkinson shared her training secrets with Runner’s World. She says that she splits the 800 meter up. “There's a session I do, which is usually the last one I’ll run before a championships. It’s a split 800m, so a 400m, 30 seconds’ rest, then another 400m. The outcome is very accurate in terms of telling you what you’re capable of. When I was at the Tokyo Olympics, I did that session beforehand and I split a 1:55.3, then ended up running 1:55.8. So it’s a really honest reflection of where you’re at.”

2. She Trains 7 Days A Week

Hodgkinson trains 7 days a week. She shared her routine with Runner’s World. “So, it’s cross training on Mondays. On Tuesdays, I’ll do a session on the cross trainer and then I’ll do a track session. Wednesdays involve a 30-minute run and 40 minutes on the cross trainer, plus some gym work. Thursdays are similar to Tuesdays, but with maybe more of a tempo-type session. I always have Fridays off, then Saturdays in the winter will be a longer session and in the summer a track session. Sundays in the winter will be hills, and in the summer I’ll do a 15-minute run.”

3. She Eats A Pre-Race Breakfast

Hodgkinson shared her favorite pre-race breakfast with Runner’s World. “It’s probably one of those questions where nearly every athlete has the same answer, but I’d say porridge – and I always have a cup of tea. Then white toast. I’m usually the athlete who doesn’t have the snacks, although there will often be some granola lying around somewhere.”

4. She Enjoys Eating Healthy

Hodgkinson revealed to Runner’s World that she actually enjoys eating healthy. “I eat pretty well. I’m not really a person who craves takeaways or things like that, because they just don’t make me feel very good. My friends will say, ‘Let’s get a Chinese,’ but I’d rather just eat a chocolate bar, to be honest – that’s my thing. So I eat pretty well, not so much because I have to, but more because I like to. I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and good carbohydrates, but there will always be a chocolate bar, too. I think I need the calories, to be honest.”

5. She Isn’t Bothered By What Others Think

Hodgkinson isn’t bothered by what others think of her. She told ELLE UK, “You can’t get overly bothered about what everyone else is doing. I think that’s good [to remember] in every aspect of life, whether it’s how you look or what job you have – if you’re just comparing, you’re going to be miserable.”

According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.Hot Tub Soakshttps://www.instagram.com/p/CpdDd16JCK3/Meaghan loves soaking in the hot tub. “live footage of me ignoring all my problems,” she captioned a photo taken in Utah.

Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.Hikinghttps://www.instagram.com/p/C76x5gEOcTw/?img_index=1You can often find Meaghan hiking.

According to ACE Fitness it blends together cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around, and hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," they say.

Elite CrossFit athlete Tia-Clair Toomey recently wowed fans with her performance at the Rogue Invitational in Scotland, where she faced off against the best in the sport. Sharing highlights on Instagram, Toomey expressed gratitude for the “electric” crowd and the event’s organizers, stating, “THANK-YOU Scotland for a fantastic experience.” Known for her rigorous training, Toomey’s fitness routine combines strength training, cardio, and high-intensity exercises like pull-ups, jump rope, and running. In addition, she utilizes a fitness bike for low-impact cardio, supporting heart and lung health. As a dedicated competitor, Toomey shows that maintaining peak performance takes a mix of strength, endurance, and discipline, inspiring her followers to embrace a dynamic approach to fitness.

1. She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Toomey is seen lifting a heavy bag, which is a type of strength training exercise. According to The Mayo Clinic, strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

2. She Jumps Rope

In her Instagram post, Toomey is also seen jumping rope. Piedmont states that jumping rope has a lot of benefits. “It’s an amazing total body exercise that engages all of the major muscle groups,” says Clinton Maclin, ACSM CEP-CPO, an exercise physiologist and safety coach at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center. “You can use it to warm up or as a stand-alone exercise, and it incorporates cardiovascular exercise and resistance training. You are guaranteed to burn more calories jumping rope for five minutes than you would walking on a treadmill for five minutes.”

3. She Does Pull-Ups

Toomey shared this workout video on her Instagram. One exercise she is seen doing is pull-ups. NASM states that pull-ups have a lot of health benefits. “Pull ups and chin ups are extremely effective when it comes to building upper body and back strength. Gradual progression over time will allow you to perform chin ups and pull ups with good form to reduce the risk of injury and to see the results that you’re looking for. Incorporate these exercises into your fitness routine for a fun yet challenging upper body exercise that’s sure to yield great results.”

4. She Uses A Fitness Bike

In the previous Instagram video, Toomey is also seen using a fitness bike. According to Penn State PRO Wellness, using a fitness bike has a lot of benefits. “Riding a stationary exercise bike is an efficient and effective way to burn calories and body fat while strengthening your heart, lungs, and muscles. Compared to some other types of cardio equipment, a stationary bicycle puts less stress on your joints, but it still provides an excellent aerobic workout.”

5. She Runs

Toomey likes to run to stay in shape. She shared this video of herself on the track on Instagram. Toomey captioned the post, “@rogueinvitational said there will be a possibility of being outside for a brief period of time. Please pack accordingly. First thing I packed were my @roka sunnies. 😎 Any guesses what we might be doing outside?”
