So I completed W4R1 yesterday, and it means I need to do my next 2 runs on Wednesday and Friday. Due to other commitments I’m not going to be able to do either of those this week!
So my options are to have 2 rest days in a row (which I don’t really want to do as I don’t want to lose momentum.) Or run today as well, so two consecutive days, and then go back to every other day.
I won’t be making a habit of this, as a one off is it ok to skip a rest day?
Thanks!
Two rest days in a row is far more beneficial than no rest days. You don’t want to risk injury.
It’s hard to resist running back to back days, I know, but don’t be tempted to. The programme banks on you taking rest days so your new running legs can repair and ready themselves for their next challenge!
😀😀
Thank you for your comment! I’m just worried that 2 days rest will make my return to run 2 of this week difficult?! Or do you think I should be ok? Thank you!
You’ll be fine, really! You won’t lose any fitness with an extra rest day. 😀😀
2 rest days will be fine.
You’ll be absolutely fine!! I’ve had 3 consecutive rest days, sometimes even 4!! Work, life etc gets in the way! I read somewhere that you need to do at least 2 runs a week if you want to build/improve stamina, fitness etc. and 1 run a week to maintain xx
I'm on Week 7!!!! And how important is Rest Day?
6 day weeks? 1 or 2 rest days and when?
Week 1 run 2 after an enforced 2 day rest
Week 1 done (in 4 days)
Week One Done - question about rest days.
