Michael Phelps has just given us a brief insight into how he recovered from his exertions in the pool yesterday, where he was part of the USA team that won the 4x100m freestyle relay. 

"I tried to do as much as I could, get my lactate cleared, had a massage, had an ice bath, eat.

"I think I had a pound of spaghetti and I am not a spaghtetti fan, I forced myself to eat it.

"I guess I probably got to sleep at 03:00 and I was on an 11:00 bus. Quick turnarounds but the good thing is we have a long time between prelims and finals, so hopefully I can get home, get a quick nap in and be ready for tonight."
