I run Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Is it ok to cycle on rest days?

As stated in the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5... any non impact exercise on rest days will be beneficial to your running, as long as you don't overdo it.

Thank you. Thought that was the case but wanted to confirm. I had an enforced hiatus duri g the three heatwaves here so started again.

I would recommend reading the guide again to refresh your memory..........it is full of tips.

It's perfectly OK to do some cycling on rest days, as long as you don't overdo things and wear yourself out. Sometimes rest means just rest and a gentle walk is more appropriate.
