Thomas makes sure to train on a consistent basis. She talked about this in an interview with City Lifestyle. “When we’re out of season, I’m probably dedicating about 20 hours a week towards running, which isn’t too bad. When we start competing and traveling on top of training it becomes your entire life pretty much. It varies on the time of season and on what I’m trying to get out of the sport, if I’m in a place that I want to be competing every week, if I want to travel abroad and run some Diamond League races and tune up, or if I want to take time to be at home and recover and have some relaxation after a hard training week.”
Thomas tells City Lifestyle that she likes to meditate to help with her mental health. “A lot goes into it and it’s every single day, it’s not just a month of the year, it’s constant in everything you’re doing, so mental health is really important because it keeps you motivated and on track. For me, I really, really like meditation. I think it’s huge and I suggest it to everyone who asks me about what I do and how I prepare. I do it every morning and I incorporate it into my competition warm-up.”
Getting enough sleep is extremely important to Thomas. She shared her secrets for doing so with City Lifestyle. “My sleep routine is very strict. I refuse to get less than eight hours a night. Everybody is different, but I need at least eight hours every night, sometimes I’ll get ten. I try to limit blue light and I don’t watch TV before bed. Typically, I’ll get in bed around 10pm, get a book and read a few pages and then go to sleep. I don’t really believe in alarm clocks either, unless I have to be up early for something and I can’t miss it, otherwise I let my body wake up naturally when it wants to.”
Thomas prioritizes her skincare. She shared her routine in an interview with The Healthy. “My self-care routine looks like a fun little skincare routine before I go to bed, where I just get myself feeling really loose and relaxed. I can’t live without my Laneige lip mask. It smells so good and it feels so good. I use my Bobbi Brown face cream, just to make sure I’m nice and hydrated, and then I normally sprinkle some vitamin D on there.”
