Phelps - On Consistency

From his book, No Limits:

"For five years, from 1998 to 2003, we did not believe in days off. I had one because of a snowstorm, two more due to the removal of wisdom teeth. Christmas? See you at the pool. Thanksgiving? Pool. Sponsor obligations? Work them out around practice time."

...

In the winter of 2002 .. Phelps says he was averaging 85,000 metres a week in the pool .. and he dropped it back to 75,000 in spring ..
