"It takes discipline to run easily when you feel good on a planned recovery day. But if you train too hard on a recovery day, you will be a bit tired for your next hard day, so that workout will likely not go as well as intended. You may then decide to run a bit harder than planned on the next recovery day to 'make up for' the suboptimal hard training session. This creates a vicious cycle in which the easy days are too intense and the quality of the hard days is diminished. The result is a lack of improvement and mediocre race performances." - Pete Pfitzinger, U.S. Olympic Marathoner, from the book, "Run Strong."
