W2/D5- X-Train or Complete Rest

I want to teach you to listen to your body and not compare to what other people are doing; and believe it or not, this is often one of the toughest things to teach a runner. We are all at different points in our journey and our unique bodies have needs specific to us. The more you stay in tune with your body; how it recovers; energy levels; mental highs and lows; the stronger you will become. Focus Forward and listen to what YOUR body needs today. If you need a full day of rest, please take it. Rest comes in several forms; you can take 15-30 minutes doing a relaxtation routine; stretching; and mobility moves. You can take a Yoga Restoration class or book a sports massage. Some of us need a walk with a friend; an extra nap; or a trip to the physio. The longer and more consistent you are with training, the more you might notice that you need to move in order to recover/stay loose; HOWEVER these sessions of x-training should not beat you up. Use x-training to loosen up or to simply allow your brain to ENJOY another area of your fitness like: Cycling, Pilates, Yoga, Swimming, etc. Whatever you do; keep it light, fun; and kind. You deserve it. Beginner- If you decide to cross train, please don't go beyond 40 minutes. Intermediate- 60 min max Advanced- 60 min max
