    I try and save household chores and errands for rest day to keep from being bored and feeling unproductive. I also try to read (physical copies of books) and avoid music and my phone as much as possible since I’m dealing with those a lot the six other days of the week for training.

    Solid vlog and advice. Glad you addressed these issues about rest days. Can a rest day be a weight/strength session too or is that not quiet a rest day?

    • @francescaregazzoni9260
      @francescaregazzoni9260 7 лет назад +4

      In the words of Jack Daniels, a rest day is a part of training, not a break from it. Your body needs time to recover. Typically, 2 sessions a week of strength/cross training are part of the training itself, so not rest days. Even pros and elites take a full day off.

    • @TheRunExperience
      @TheRunExperience  7 лет назад

      Francesca is correct here. Your max movement on a rest day should be mobility and maybe some light walking. Strength training (and the intensity of it) should absolutely be considered a workout/training day. Good question!

    • @katieweiher

  • @andrewreinwand4942
    @andrewreinwand4942 5 лет назад +1

    Would it be better to have a rest day the day before my long Sunday run or the day after my long Sunday run? I’ve been having my rest day be the day after and running every other day but the day before (Saturday is specific to cross training) but not sure if I should be resting before my long run or if it even matters (obviously no correct one answer but curious what others do)

    • @piedpiper1172
      @piedpiper1172 2 года назад

      I am a heretic: I do my long run on Saturdays. Recovery run Sunday, rest day Monday.
      Tuesday morning 30 minutes easy, speedwork that night.
      Wednesday morning easy, Wednesday night strength.
      Thursday morning easy, Thursday evening tempo.
      Friday morning easy, Friday evening strength.
      Saturday morning long steady.
      Sunday morning recovery, Sunday afternoon aggressive drinking for NFL, Sunday evening strength.
      Monday rest!!!
      I replace at least one easy session a week with an easy stationary ride. For me easy is HR monitored to be zone 2-3. Easy days easy, effort days effort!
      I also dont really go for fast reps/high HR during strength. Just the best form I can do. This means my HR average is always zone 1 or 2, but peak never out of zone 3.
      I know everyone does HR different, so for reference I use heart rate reserve, calculated with a tested max and resting rather than age based estimate.

    Do you use a foam roller before you run?

    • @TheRunExperience
      @TheRunExperience  6 лет назад +1

      Not always - it can sometimes release and separate the fibers in my muscles so much that the muscles as a whole become a little 'lazy' to activate when I start running. After is best for foam rolling!

    • @janetslater129
      @janetslater129 5 лет назад

      I personally love foam rolling before a run, as I find it helpful in loosening up muscles. Then afterwards, it helps settle down my muscles, especially if I run in the evening.
