Anyway none of us are sports scientists, and I don't think even the most renowned sports people have a water tight answer, its all a bit open to conjecture
I also think that those of us that come from competitive sports are used to training 5 or 6 days a week and then playing a game. Normally 2-3 games a weekend as a junior, sometimes 4 with junior and senior rugby, school and senior football. I've trained almost every day since the age of about 11 I reckon. It was just drummed into us that that is what you do. I'm not sure I know what untired legs feel like..
