Two week break from running

1 Reply

I decided to not run for two weeks as I was going on holiday and I had read somewhere that some people recommend a two week annual break to give the body time to repair. I found the experience quite positive. First run after the break this morning and I did not find it too difficult so I haven't lost my form. Put on a few pounds though. Never mind. I'm sure that will sort itself out after a while.

Happy running to everyone in the sun 👟👟

Your body clearly appreciated the break and it sounds as if it did you a lot of good. Well done to you.
