by Larry EderThe ability to build up your fitness requires focus. One must put much aside, and eat well, sleep well, hydrate well, but also recover well. In college, my training partner, Paul and I, would do our hard days with a local junior college team. We would do our easy days by ourselves. We could not go out and run fast on easy days, because we would not be ready for the hard days and the racing days. After all, we are all merely mortal engines.
