At 37, Vardy is still going strong, and The Sun has published an article detailing the secret to Vardy’s enduring form. It’s reported that Vardy’s pre-match routine includes three cans of Red Bull and a double espresso.
The first round of the Premier League saw newly promoted Leicester City draw 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur, with the 37-year-old Vardy scoring the equalizer for the Foxes. In the high-intensity, fast-paced Premier League, being 37 is unusual, so how does Vardy maintain such excellent form at this age? Years ago, he revealed his “magic potion” in an interview: eating Haribo sweets, drinking some vodka, and port wine before matches. Now, as he gets older, he has switched his formula to three cans of Red Bull, a double espresso, a slice of cheese, and a plate of ham and eggs.
During training sessions, he follows his own pace, skipping some training schedules. Instead, he uses a cryotherapy chamber and an oxygen tent in his £2.5 million apartment to aid recovery.
In Vardy’s own words, his three cans of Red Bull are consumed within 30 seconds of waking up, another one while doing the dishes, and the last one 90 minutes before the match. Vardy skips breakfast, only having a plate of ham and eggs with baked beans at 11:30, and a double espresso to pass the time.
