There's a lot that goes into training besides running.
Hydration. Nutrition. Gear. Fuel. Stretching. Cross Training. Body Glide.
Even the dreaded foam roller.
What's the most important component of training? It's the one I've yet to mention - sleep.
Sleep in the evening. More sleep than normal as training progresses.
Sleep after a long run and a big brunch.
Sleep (rather tactfully) on the bus.
Sleep in the car.
Sleep on my parent's couch.
Sleeping when you don't intend to - Like when you sit down to go through your mail and wake up to Wheel of Fortune's bonus round and two cats in your lap.
And it's not even 7 pm.
