It takes a lot of mental fortitude and perseverance to become the Olympic champion that Katie Ledecky is, and to come back every four years and compete at the highest level of swimming is a feat in and of itself.

Ledecky can also chalk her incredible success to her diet and training regimen. She partnered with Core Power for the brand’s Champion Your Recovery campaign, which began Wednesday.

The seven-time Olympic gold medalist revealed to Fox News Digital what her training schedule looked like throughout the year. She said the routine is not limited to just getting ready for the Olympics, but for the world championships and other events throughout the year.

"It varies day by day, but in a given week, I train about 25 to 30 hours a week," she said. "I swim about 10 times a week for 2 hours, and then I have dryland or weights training five days a week for about an hour each. It’s a lot. 

"And it’s not just in the Olympic year, it’s every other year as well. We have world championships and other big competitions each year. Certainly, the next couple months are the most exciting for us as swimmers. I’ve just been putting in the training, racing a lot, recovering, getting ready for all that’s coming up."
