A day in the life Tour de France king Mark Cavendish

The cyclist is enjoying his retirement - it's all yoga, energy-boosting supplements and a relaxed approach to food and wearables

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 any more 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.

I'm travelling all the time, but I've never been one for elaborate jet lag routines. I don't really track light exposure or anything like that it's more about pushing through. If I'm tired, I'll stay awake, try to reset through meal timing and get on with it. That works best for me.
