I ran a half marathon on Sunday and am not even considering running again until Wednesday. Not guilty at all and eating all of the wrong food. Time for a break.

Unless I have just ran a marathon, more than one day of rest will make me feel guilty!

Unless a break is needed, I feel guilty after one day off. Certainly more than 2 days off would make me feel very guilty and I would not take 3.

I have never run. I'm a man in my 50s who lives to discuss politics on running websites. Sad, but true.

Usually 2 days in my 20's. 3 Day's in my 30's and 40's. I was all caught up in "100 mpw". Now in my 50's, I can miss 3, 4 or even 5 days without much guilt.
I go to the gym , spin, lift, alot of core work.
Same thing at this age.

Post-season, up to two weeks if I can still do other forms of exercise. Otherwise, zero.

I'm a 44 yr old slow guy who took up running 3 yrs ago yet I feel guilty after only 2 or 3 days. I also ran a 1/2 Sunday and if I don't run tomorrow I'll feel guilty.

i used to feel guilty after 2 days. now, if there is anything nagging, i crosstrain for a few days. i actually feel guilty *for* running since i know that it's just going to prolong the issue.

In college, I used to get every Tuesday off during track season because I deliberately scheduled a required class during practice on that day. Tuesday's were our "recovery" days and my teammates always ran them too fast. As a freshman, I couldn't handle high mileage and intensity, so I simply didn't run Tuesday. Didn't feel guilty about it. I needed it. As I got older, I started running on my own on Tuesdays, but just not as fast as my dumb teammates. Hahahaha.

During the week, about 12 hours.
