Are these the best or worst days of the week?
What do you do on your RD?

Generally- just don't take them!

Recovery days, are brilliant though, not too much running, and no need to worry about the pace.

If I'm taking a proper rest day I may do some walking or just lounge around all day maybe do some technical drills

If you have a day off a week thats 48 days a year!!!
Think of how much more training you could have done! Even if you do any easy 4 miles then that's an extra 192 miles for the year!

Steepler,you scare me somtimes.

Ok then, what do NORMAL people think/do?

I usually take one rest day a week... Monday or Friday depending on what races I have done or have coming up.

My maths is awful!
52 weeks a year. 4 mile easy run = 208 miles lost.
I always think that the easiest way is to just do a light run on your recovery day.
If you are fit it will benefit you rather than hurt. The only time I ever take time off is if I am injured or really ill.
I am NORMAL!

That would explain your race pbs Steepler...which aren't normal!

Even in my younger days...not that I ran then....I didn't do something everyday and now as a VET40 my body certainly won't allow it! Still my rest days tend to involve long walks, swimmimg or digging so it's a rare day that I do nowt!

I personally think my pb's are pretty ordinary.

Too harsh on yourself steepler
