sam525 Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hi! For the sake of not trying to sound annoying, I’ll preface by saying I’m only on week 3 so the workouts haven’t gotten too hard yet. However, I was wondering how you all take your rest days and deal with the urge to go run and “beat” each challenge. Gotta admit, I did week 2 each day back to back. I know it would be healthiest and smartest to do a run every other day, but it’s a struggle!! I just wanna see improvement fast, but I know patience is key. Any tips for what to do on a rest day and still feel productive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lsmart Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 I did the same thing ! Didn’t take rest days and then hit a wall at week 7. So I’m taking it easy. Running every other day. I try to do light exercise on rest days, like stretching or playing beat saber! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseGale Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 I do recommend rest days because running is a high impact exercise. If you want to continue increasing your stamina without the added strain on your joints I would recommend active rest like walking and hiking, or other cardio machines like stair climber or elliptical. Enjoy the summer with some sports and outdoor games, or increase your agility by moving your body in a way other than the typical forward/backward motion. Staying active is key, don't be afraid to get creative! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainsayre Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Go for a 30 minute walk. That way you’re still in the habit of going out each day, maybe even at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
