How many miles do you run per week? Just curious because in hs I ran 6 days a week in the summer and 7 days a week with a day off every 2-3 weeks during the season.

Usually high 60s-low 70s but I don’t try to hit a specific number every week.

Most of the Mormon athletes take Sunday off, Ed Eyestone and Jarad Ward, both Olympians.

If that works for them then great. But I prefer running on Sundays because my legs feel better the next day.

Dafuq is Rory I am under the radar as of now.

#1 I don’t wanna get suspended... my school is very PC.
#2 I do which is why #1 is a problem!

Keep running every day and count the days until you GTFO of high school.

David Rudisha never trains on Sunday. I'm pretty sure it is for religious reasons, but he is still way better than you even by taking a day off every week. In fact, a lot of runners that take 1 day off per week are way better than you.

Don't be pretentious. The human body needs periods of rest.
