Hi everyone,
I'm already impressed by the expertise in this forum (ultra-marathons
didn't even know that EXISTED!), and I'd like to ask if you think rest days are always necessary or you only take them if you feel the need.
I'm on holidays now (well, "tricky" holidays,
having to make two take home exams), so I'm finding the time and motivation to run every day. Not much, I'm a total beginner :embarrassed: so I'm doing around 6 km in about 30 min*. On the days when I have a basketball practice I'm running to and from the sports hall (2.3 km in 10-11 minutes).
So.... shall I take rest days? For the moment I feel fine, I do feel stiffness but nothing that I can't bare.
Thanks in advance for your advice!!! :d

* I have to say in my favour that I run on the sand, sometimes exposed to totally extreme conditions (rain, wind
) and that my route includes one pedestrian cross on the way to the beach that stops me for around 15 secs
