It's fine to run on two consecutive days. I always do 2 long runs on a weekend, usually 10 miles on a saturday and 8 or 9 miles on a sunday. I tend to do a couple of shorter runs during the week, and the odd day off, but that's mainly a time issue. I work full time so can't always get out. I don't agree that taking rest days is simply lazy and the reason for declining standards. Not everybody here wants to compete or constantly break PBs. Many of us run because it is enjoyable and we want to stay fit and healthy, with the odd personal record breaking now and then. for us, its nice to have a couple of days off. I personally run a lot faster after a short break. I don't want to run every day, and constantly increase the mileage, because I'd like to stay injury free and, frankly, I work long hours and also want a half decent social life.

Where is the information coming from that gives runners such a tentative and almost timid approach? :eek:
