.katieledecky knows when it's normal to feel aches and cramps during her long swims — and trains to keep her pace through the discomfort.
Ledecky said she knows when in the swim she can expect to feel a cramp, or when her legs and arms will start to fatigue. It's expected and understood that pain will be a part of it."You want those races to hurt. It's a sign of a good swim if they hurt," Ledecky explained."I know that if I just stick to the basics and stick to my rhythm, even if I'm hurting, I can still maintain the pace.
Ledecky said she was also thinking of her family during the 1500, to lift her mood and get her through the draining race."I knew that would make it feel shorter," she said. Was there ever a doubt that Ledecky, one of the greatest distance swimmers of our time, would touch the wall first? As she lifted her head from the water after securing gold, the emotion was evident: Ledecky pumped her fist, yelled, then floated on the lane line as the tears came out.
Ledecky would close out her games with two more medals, including a gold in the 800m alongside 15-year-old Katie Grimes, debuting in the Olympics at the same age as Ledecky did in 2012. That year in London, Ledecky was the youngest athlete on Team USA; in 2016, she was the youngest on the swim team. Now a more seasoned veteran — she's still only 24! — theLedecky has a few years to go before that, and in the short term, she's ready to decompress.
