I normally run Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday with the view to run on Sunday morning. I am finding it hard over the weekends, I would really like to run with a days rest and a full circle any advice ?

I run Monday, Wednesday and Friday as well, I find I sometimes get the urge to run on Sundays but I clay shoot then so I usually manage to overcome it and as I have increased the distance I run each time to 10k now I think my body enjoys the extra days rest. If you feel the need to run an extra day maybe you could just make it a short one!

Just don't forget a rest day after which would push the Monday run out. If you're at the 10k stage of ability then maybe a short and slow 3 to 5k on the Sunday but I would say that those who are still working through the programme need to be more cautious with their rest days! I usually run tuesday thursday and saturday. That gives me three runs a week and two rest days after Saturday, which if I've had an indulgent weekend, is less painful than Monday running!

Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Weekdays are short runs before work and Sunday are my longer 'push myself' runs. Still need the rest days and the two days after my longer run. Seems to work for me but does get tweaked if needed.

Still going through the program so I run Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturday or Sunday depending on what I have on over the weekend.
