The fastest man of the world is ready to race for the gold, thanks to help from therapists, nutritionists, and energetic playlists.
Nearly a year after earning the title of fastest man in the world at the 2023 World Athletics Championships, Lyles is representing Team USA in track and field at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Later this week, Lyles will compete in the Men's 100 meter and Men's 200 meter sprints, in hopes to earn the gold.
Lyles is sure to see himself pop up on TV while he watches the Games. Ahead of the Olympics, Lyles received, in which she said, “You gotta love Noah and Sha’Carri.” But in a TV spot for Tide, Lyles is the star of the detergent’s Stains Happen to the Best of Us campaign, in which he is featured alongside nine-time track and field gold medalist, Carl Lewis.
Though he’s eating pasta in the Tide spot, one may be surprise that most of Lyles’ plates contain “very little carbs.” While he’s been training, Lyles has worked with a chef and a nutritionist to curate meals for him to help him get into ideal performance mode. He notes that focus more on “greens and vegetables,” as well as “proteins to build the muscles back up.”
“I was purely a 200-meter runner,” says Lyles. “Of course, I was winning quite a bit of 100 meters, but never to the level that I had been in the last two years. It's involved a lot more top-end work — a lot of sprinting, a lot of jumping into uncomfortable scenarios. Anybody who knows me in track and field will say I do not have the best for 60m.
On the track, he listens to an eclectic mix comprised Jay-Z, Kanye West, J. Cole, Queen, Fred Hammond, and Kirk Franklin. He turns up the heat in the gym and weight room with what he describes as more “aggressive rap,” with artists like Pop Smoke and Youngboy Never Broke Again. “Sometimes, I don't even have to think about my warm-up, because the songs already telling me what exercise I should be doing.
