Usain Bolt enjoys time off now

Usain Bolt enjoys his time off more these days.

The Olympic legend used to try and cram in as much as possible when he had breaks from training so appreciates being able to lead a more relaxed life now.

He told Grazia magazine: “Back when I was competing in track and field, if I got a break I was like, ‘Oh I have to fit in everything right now.’

“Nowadays, I can pick when I work, when and where I travel, so I don’t press myself as much; time off is more enjoyable, more relaxed.”

Usain admitted he needs to find more time for exercise.

He said: “I keep saying I need to start getting back into the gym.

“Padel is everywhere – I’ve not tried it yet but I’m open to getting a little lesson.”

One thing the former sprinter – who retired in 2017 – doesn’t spend much time doing is cooking.

He admitted: “The last meal I made [was] instant ramen.

“My mom was not a fan of cooking, so she didn’t teach me how to cook.

“She taught me everything else – how to do laundry, how to iron, how to clean – but she never taught me how to cook.”
