There is a religious aspect to this that is more important than training benefits for some. That is keeping the Sabbath Day Holy and resting on that day. I do think it good for the mental break though and helps a person to not be obsessive over training.
Comes with a promise:
Isaiah 58:13 ¶ If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
I'll add the warning of making anything an idol before God.
Be thankful for the blessing of being able to run due to your health, and the privilege of having the time to do so.
I would like to run 7 days a week, but remembering this I rest one day and also remember, it really doesn't matter how far or how fast I can run. The rest does no harm and seems to work better too.
