In order to recover well from your peak week workouts, both Bui and Vasudevan stress the importance of maintaining a consistent, disciplined routine that includes at least one rest day, getting more sleep than usual, engaging in some light stretching and time off your feet, and nutrition and hydration to support your training (more on that below).

Paramjit Dhillon will never forget the moment he first met Fauja Singh. It was in 2003 when Dhillon was introduced to Singh through Alan Brookes, the race director of the Toronto Waterfront Marathon.
