Yesterday had a big race and didn't run what I could have. Felt tired and legs were pretty tired yesterday especially after the race. My legs are still tired today, should I take off today or would doing a couple miles easy be better for my meet this upcoming Saturday?
Do 30min really slow for 2 days like 15min mile pace, thats what I do when I feel like crap. It works better than taking days off for me!
Everybody's different.
Try one option. See if it works.
If it does, then you'll have your answer.
If it doesn't, then you'll also have your answer.
But I'd opt for the easy slow running.
The more you run the more you'll find that a couple easy miles do a lot more for you than a day off. But if you take days off liberally, that might not be the case.
