How much rest on a rest day? Poss sciatica pain?

[mrspatch]

Doer walking the 5k count as exercise or can i get away with it on the rest days? After doing w1r1 was sore on 1 side from top of hip down to calf + thought a walk might stretch it out as it felt a bit like sciatica - it did ease a bit in the calf.

Walking seems to be ok for rest days (or cycling, swimming etc - anything that uses different muscles) as a general rule.

However, I don't know about sciatica. I've only had that (ugh, nasty) when I was pregnant, and it always resolved when I sorted out my posture - I guess it was a trapped nerve, though that might be rubbish! And your soreness might be something completely different. Sorry, that's not much help really.
