"Alberto Salazar has said on more than one occasion that recovery takes confidence. Knowing when to stop running for a day or a week, while the competition hammers away, isn't easy for many runners, but understanding that it will enhance performance in the long term comes with maturity."
I've been really tired and dragging due to new mileage highs combined with some great workouts. It's risky adding mileage and intensity at the same time. You've got to know when to recover some days, or face being injured--an unacceptable prospect to say the least.
