Extra rest days

[Rockette]

I know my body now , & it likes two rest days not one . My last run was Sunday 5k I did my other run this morning , & really enjoyed it , I felt great . So doing it regular extra rest days more often

Totally with you on that one. I feel so much better when I've had two rest days - and more motivated to get out there too. I guess it stands to reason that as we get older our bodies can take longer to repair and recover. I think the important thing to remember is we're all different so we have to make sure we do what feels right for us. Glad you enjoyed your run today

I'm another one who finds two rest days beneficial.

Yes , it's not a coincidence that every time I take them extra days , I'm more motivated as you say & enjoy the run more .im going to do it more often because I'm no spring chicken lol x

I find this too but I hate waiting the extra day, particularly if the conditions on the in between day are good. Don't always wait but I do expect that maybe I'll have to when I start running for longer.
