As Lindsay has said ive been enjoying reading the other blogs too. Its good to know that other people feel the same way, especially the guilt feeling that we get if we dont run. This leads me nicely onto rest days.
Now, i totally understand the purpose of rest days - gives your body and mind a chance to recover and repair. I know that its during rest and not training, that the body gets stronger, i know all the info, so why do i feel bad when i have them!! I feel that, well, maybe just a little run will be ok!! Or i go to the gym, saying that i will just do an active recovery day, nice and gentle - but oh no!! - the endorphins start to kick in and it ends up as a monster weight sesh! I know i have gone before quite regularly 9 or 10 days without a rest day, which i know is bad. But i find the more i do, the more i WANT to do.
I have been making myself have at least one rest day a week whilst ive been marathon training. But i find i still have to remind myself that its good for me!!
I realise this make me sound a bit nuts, rest days should be the easiest session there is during the training week, but for me, its not!!
