My name is Grayson Mercy. I am a professional runner on the road, the mountains, the trail, and the track. To prepare for the World Mountain Championship's training was big and then recovering because you want to train hard, but you need to get to the race, help things too. You've got to get to that start line, or it's all for nothing. Recovering and making sure I was sleeping and eating right was pretty high on my importance. Sleep fitness, it is a fitness and I treat it as part of my training and recovery. It's just as important as the workouts that I do, because like I said, if you can't get to the start line, then the workouts don't matter.
