Have you ever felt the pressure to perform? In order to reach peak performance, many top performers add something vital to their routines that most people wouldn’t expect—rest. For example, Bernard Lagat, one of the best American runners, always takes a 5-week training break at the end of the year. Brad Stulberg talks with us about how to reach your own peak performance.
