Cyclist Mark Cavendish's daily routine: Fasting, AI glasses and post-retirement yoga

I get up later than I used to — usually just before the kids go to school. If I’m not travelling or jet-lagged, I’ll naturally wake up sometime around 7am. I’m not a morning person these days, not without a couple of coffees first. I don’t really do breakfast anymore either.

As a rider, I always needed breakfast to train, but since retiring, my metabolism has completely shifted. I used to be in a constant cycle of fuelling and conserving energy, but now, if I’m not hungry, I won’t eat. That said, I do love making the school run when I’m home — it’s a small routine that I missed for years.
