Christian Coleman has explained why he is not always vocal about breaking Usain Bolt's world records like his competitors Noah Lyles, Ferdinand Omanyala, and Fred Kerley.
“It could be anything from pasta or steak to chicken; try to stay away from red meat—I probably go for it once a month.
“I’m also down with turkey meat, potatoes, green beans, black beans, rice, something along those lines. Also, I’m always eating a lot of seafood,” Kerley said.
Kerley added that he is usually up by 6 a.m. without fail and he does not really have breakfast but if he does, it’s always light.

“I get up, drink a cup of water before I do anything, brush my teeth, and start the day. Before I head to training, I’ll go downstairs and sit and listen to soft-spoken music, and have a mindfulness period of about 5 to 10 minutes where I breathe,” he added.
For dinner, Kerley explained that he eats a lot like lunch. “A lot like lunch. I really try to go for more colourful stuff for dinner. I don’t want anything too heavy, so I’m not going to bed feeling weighed down,” he added.
After having lunch, Kerley noted that he loves chilling and hanging out in his backyard, feeding the dogs, and just doing typical ‘Fred Kerley’ stuff which includes different things like spending a lot of his time in the garden since where he lives, he can plant year-round.

ATHLETICS Jamaican youngster acknowledges Sha'Carri Richardson's helping hand training
Jamaican sprint sensation has shared the benefits of training with Sha'Carri Richardson months after joining the American's training group.
“I have a therapist that travels with me, he gets my body right for the day or the night before training and stuff. Recovery is huge.
"The last few years, it’s been mostly about prehab. Especially after what happened at the World Championships last year when I pulled my quad muscle in the 200 and almost needed surgery.
"And then, both hydration and sleep are important. For hydration, I typically drink a lot of water, but I’m also big on Gatorade, apple juice, and Pedialyte. And then I’m usually asleep by 9 or 10 after talking on the phone to some people,” Kerley explained about his recovery.
