hi ladies,
just curious if any of you are taking complete days off in a training week; if so, how many.
and, have you noticed a difference in levels of energy or performance by taking days off?
right now i'm thinking of 1 or 2 off a week, as i'm going to wind up focusing mostly on running this year (because of time constraints, it's the easiest to squeeze in).
with running only, plus some cross training (i train with weights with my BFF, this is an activity that is nice for us to share and spend time together, so i want to continue doing it until she moves in the fall), is there a benefit to a day or 2 off completely?
thanks for any thoughts of your own experiences or insights,
kitty
