Well, I awoke this morning aching and feeling the toll of hard training!
With this is mind, I have given myself the morning off - not a sign of weakness, but just acknowledging what my body is telling me.
I remember Bill Begg saying never train for the sake of training, and this is echoed by my colleague Greg Deacon, who has also said be careful about going out and doing "junk miles"
Training hard, 6 days a week is the norm for elite athletes, however that is built up to overtime and elite athletes will always train smart - have plans well thought out and have a purpose, if any extra rest period is needed then so be it, especially if it improves the quality of effort for the next session.
That said, if I feel fine and the weather lets me - I'll try and get out in the evening!
