Depends on how "hard" your workouts are. Too often runners, and athletes in general, feel like they need to destroy themselves in order to get anything out of a workout. That assumption is wrong.

Correct Alan. And following schedules written in a book by a guy you never met, it not good training.
Hey "more rest" - I am trying this too. How long are your weekend workouts / LRs as you get inside 8 weeks to marathon? I am training for marathon now and backing off historical mileage of 75-80mpw.

I have been Daniel's training for years now, but I am finding out that I am no longer able to recover with one easy day. I need two between workouts. Period. I have sustained a few injuries and they all seem to stem from not having 2 easy days between workouts. When I have 2 easy days between, I always feel good.
Has anyone else experienced this? And are there any training outlines that use 9-day segments instead of 7 days?
Thanks!
I thought this when I was 27.
But if you need 2 days to recover from something like a Daniel's R pace workout, you're doing it wrong and missing the point of the session.
