Shattered

Yesterdays swim session plus my late night waiting for my son's return means today I am shattered.  My legs are almost fully recovered from Sundays long run but I am happily taking the night off as I have a 4.45am start to catch a flight to London tomorrow and need to catch up on some sleep.  I won't be training when I get back but will be swimming at 7am on Friday so again will need an early night.
Sleep is a major part of the training regime as you must allow your body to recover from the training.  I have to plan my sleeping pattern around what I am doing at work or my life otherwise when I do train I'll be too tired.
Friday will be a 20 hour day because having got up early to swim I am hosting a table at a charity dinner in the evening which finishes at 1am.  I'll take it easy on the Saturday with probably a longer session on the Sunday.  All the time I will be eating the right food to give me the fuel necessary for perform.
