2022 RunBlogRun Spring Middle Distance Daily Track Training (800m-5000m), Week 21, Day 1

Monday is an easy day.

Make sure that you keep it that way. In the high racing season, rest is important between big races and speed days. Sleep, eating well and hydration is key. Mental breaks from daily stress are key as well. Read printed books, as they change how your brain processes information.

Holistic approaches are big things in some training groups. But, it makes sense, good food, good sleep, good rest are key to your mortal engine.
