EatingWell:What does your typical breakfast look like?
Eggs are something I really like to eat in the morning on race day or any regular day.
That is something convenient that I like to include.
EatingWell:Why partner with Oikos?
Richardson:I’m super excited about the partnership with Oikos.
All of those components put together make me super excited about this partnership.

EatingWell:Do you have a nighttime recovery routine?
It’s something I like to do.
I’ll be talking to my family or getting in the pool doing some stretching and some abs.
Thats how the day ends for me.
EatingWell:Any favorite snacks you always have on hand?
Richardson:I like dried fruits a lot, specifically dried mangoes, as well as peanuts and almonds.
I keep it very light and straightforward when it comes to snacking.
Richardson:I have a different playlist for before, during and after practice.
I would say before practice, I’m listening to gospel or more soft R&B.
I like to listen to that while I’m at the track.
Beforehand, I’m listening to a lot of gospel, so Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary.
Beyonce is in every playlist: before, during and after.
EatingWell:What does eating well mean to you?
Giving myself those things that way my body gives me what I need when I go and perform.
And having a meal that you just enjoy will have an effect on how your day is going.
