On the one hand, I know that they make you stronger and allow your body to recover. On the one hand, I always get a bit edgy. Rest days always feel a bit double.

As you increase your mileage with marathon training, you'll probably find that your rest days make you much stronger. Rest is so important - it is on those days that we really build our strength. Think of them as rewards for working hard on the other days : ) I love rest days. As you increase your mileage with marathon training, you’ll probably find that your rest days make you much stronger.

I have to take them off or my knees take a hit, the ITBS for me too. Pllus I get run down. On my Friday rest day I really enjoy it because I do only core and arm work and feel I get a great workout on that day because that is ALL I am doing, and I have time. On Mondays I do nothing at all! And even though that day is kind of tough for me, I enjoy it overall. Rest days are hard for me, too, but I don’t run on Fridays or Mondays.
