Ok, So ive been running alot lately, typically 10+ a day with some intervals thrown within for speed. Looking to compete with the half-marathon. I look forward to going for my runs, but after 5-6 tough runs, I typically force myself to rest for a day. I could still run and I wouldnt hurt, but I think the recovery time for my muscles to rebuild once and a while is more valuable than another run on that particular day since your muscle rebuild and arm themselves, without haveing to break down again from another run. So in consequence I should be stronger and have more fuel in my tank when my next runs come. Is this true, or should I just run everyday if i can, without working in a rest day for improvement, cause right now I think a rest day is more helpful than another run since you need to fully recover. What do you think? thanks
