by Larry EderThe easy days are taken for granted. In truth, they give your body time to recover from the challenges that you took on the day before, and that rest will help you on the next tough day. Your body is a mortal engine. It builds on the stresses put on it, and with time to recover, can handle amazing challenges. Just listen to your coach and your body.
