TIL Desk Sports/ Star sprinter Hima Das is not losing her sleep over qualifying for the Olympics, having included cycling and a bit of cricket in her “medium-intensity” training regime while taking care to avoid the sweltering summer heat. With no competitions lined up in the near future due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hima is taking it easy.
“There are no immediate competitions and so we are neither doing low level training nor intense. We are just doing medium intensity training. Let us see when we pick up our training,” Hima told from NIS Patiala.“It is very hot here and so we do only morning training.
In the evening we have spare time and I do cycling (in the velodrome) and even do bowling with cricket balls. “I try to enjoy life as much as I can. My motto is ‘be positive and be happy’,” added the reigning junior world champion in 400m.
