Read Brian Stover's post over and commit it to memory.
Like many things people want to know what are the Silver Bullets and the short-cuts - there aren't any!
Consistency is key. Week in week out, almost all year round - that's when after time, you start to feel the real gains.
I've often felt and said that the most important ones are the ones that you drag yourself out the door on those reasonably easy days, when you are not feeling great, and you still log the time/miles. Why? In an Ironman race, after the 2/3 point of the swim you are truly never feeling great from that point on right through until the finish. You are never really fresh and in a somewhat fatigued state for 8+ hours - but you keep going!
