My other recommendation when it comes to “rest” days, is to not think about them as taking the day off or “resting” at all. So I would recommend this thinking to all other runners. I’ve tried to implement this in my running over the last six months and I believe it has prevented little issues from becoming big issues. I’m paraphrasing and saying like I remember it, but it’s pretty much what he said. Coach David Roche often says, taking three days off when you start to feel an issue is not going to hurt your training but it may save you from having a serious injury which can sideline you for a month or more. Some of that is from listening to Coaches David and Megan Roche from Some Work, All Play Running.

Doesn’t it make more sense to just take a day off here and there or to take a week of reduced miles every so often? yes but we’re ultrarunners and nothing in rest says ultra anything. We push through injuries and then our bodies make us stop. I’ve heard pod cast after podcast and seen many videos and articles on rest.Įven with this information being spewed at runners from every media source available, we struggle. I have read books on rest and why it is important. Something I have had to reconcile is this whole concept of rest. One thing is for sure, I will be slower and I will need a full time pacer and crew. My goal is to run a 100 on my 100th birthday.

It is the foundation to making running a life long sport and not just an “in the good old days” sport or “when I was younger…” It allows you to build your miles and increase your speed. The purpose for taking rest days is to recover and rebuild your muscles so they are stronger and can withstand more rigorous training. So many runners have an issue with taking “rest” days.
