Can I do 2 runs in 2 days?

[Jennyfuggle]

Got a full on week with work, how bad is it to do 2 runs in 2 days?!

[Elfe5 Graduate]

No don't- the advice is always take your rest days to let muscles repair. The rest days reduce risk of injury. You can do non impact exercise on the rest days. I alternate running with cycling, walking and Pilates. 😀

All the advice is to have a rest day in between, if you possibly can.

[Cornet-Carolyn Graduate]

No sorry but the advice is always have at least one rest day from running

[J9_54 Graduate]

Not at all recommended. Can you not have another look and jiggle things someway else? The mentors will fill you in on all the science reasons why you shouldn't.

Is it really worth risking injury to not have at least 1 rest day between?

Very... don't! Simple as that

[Irish-John Graduate]

I wouldn't. And it's a rare thing for me to I religiously observe 'rules'. :/

[Millsie-J Graduate]

How bad, at this point in your run journey? Very bad!!! Give it about 12 months of running three times a week then give it a try, but even then only occasionally and build from there.

The IC is not a nice place to be.

I think some mischievous people just pop up to ask this question every now and again and then step back to watch the fireworks 🎆😊

Get ready to duck.....
