Tip # 13: Take a day off! Muscles need a break, and so do you. You should be taking at least one day out of seven off, if not two. If you are exercising for the exercise and not for a specific event, you have plenty of time to get in shape! Feel free to rotate which day you take off. If you had a exercise day planned, but you are just not up to it, take the day off without guilt–as long as you didn’t do that for the last three days running 😉

I think you mentioned in a previous post, but I couldn’t find it. Exactly what do you do for your running drills? I’ve been thinking of playing around with adding a few drill days into my routine and was wondering what you would recommend. : )
Also, awesome tip. The tricky part, at least for me, is the ‘guilt free’ aspect of it.

I know, I always fill guilty! I have two sets of drills right now, one for flat and one for hills. They incoporate the same exercises for the most part. I will look for the posts and send you the links 🙂

I struggle with taking a day off, because its hard for me to go back to my routine, once the day is done.
