Isleptwellthelasttwonights,muchmore soundlythanusual.IrealizedthatIhadnoteaten anymeatforfivedays,notpartofaplan,butjust whathappened.Iwonderediftherecouldbeany connection.BecauseIhaveabitofanobsession with6dayraces,andwithtryingtounlockthe secretsofthemassivepuzzleofsuccessinsuch long-distanceevents,Iamalwaysthinkingabout newwaystoachieveanyincremental improvements.Themostimportanttoolfor recoveryfromseriousexerciseissleep.Itismore impactfulthanfoodoranyspecialgimmicks.So anythingthatmightimprovethequalityofmy sleepisworthyofinvestigation.Inmycase, becauseofmykneeissuesandmyage,Icertainly don’tsleepasdeeplyorassteadilyasIdidwhen Iwasyounger.
