So I hate taking time off from training. But I know I need to. So I was wondering if it would be a bad thing that instead of running everyday this week I run Monday Wednesday friday. 6 miles each day at like 7 to 7 and a half pace then maybe 2 or 3 days I bike 10-15 miles (i bike a decent amount so it's not too strenuous) I want to be recovered but I also dont want to do nothing for those days.
I don't know how much time you've already taken, but I've had success taking one full week of absolutely nothing, and then the first week back I'll run four out of the seven days, and do absolutely nothing on those three other days. Then I get back into the everyday training. Your body needs time off, and your brain needs it too. You'll grow stronger in the long run if you let yourself completely recover from that full week off.

The past 2 weeks I've done 25-30 miles so I could be refreshed for a race (did bad in case you were wondering lol) so I did not know if that was enough rest or not
I understand taking a break after track but not after cross. You just spent months building endurance so why take any time off. Just run easy for a few weeks if you need a break from workouts/racing.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
