Older and Wiser

As we age, we learn to get more from our training and to get the most from our bodies during competitions, a story in today's L.A. Times says.

It makes complete sense to me. I'm getting smarter about how I train, for instance. Until recently I trained six days a week, lifting three days and doing cardio three days. But that practice left my legs always tired because they often worked all six days.

Now I lift and get my cardio in on the same days, giving myself the next day off. The result? My legs feel refreshed when I hit it again.
