Fitness Quote by Hal Higdon
““It is not how much training you do as much as it is how well you recover from it. Because if you do not recover adequately, you will become either injured or sick or chronically fatigued, with resulting poor performance. Thus, while everyone has a different number of miles per week that they can tolerate (due to weather, terrain, biomechanics, lifestyle) without breakdown, the secret to success is not to exceed that threshold.””
