So I ran W8 R1 very early yesterday morning. I was planning on doing my next run first thing tomorrow (less than 12 hours time) but it’s a lovely evening now and nice and cool. Is it a silly idea to do the run now, and have a rest day tomorrow instead? I’ve had a very lazy day today and my legs feel fine. What would you do? Thanks in advance.

When you run, the impact creates microtears in your muscles, which repair and strengthen on your rest days, not while running. Without rest, repair and strengthening are compromised and injury risk increased.
