Miles or kilometers per Week is an individual thing, so you have
to find what works for you. By listening to your body and
adjusting your schedule appropriately, your weekly distance
becomes what ever your body can handle. During the month you may
strive for a particular goal in weekly distance, but include in
each month a rest week to give your body extra time for
recovery. The rest week is a reduction of about 40-50%. Run
shorter distances and take more rest days or light cross-
training days. Heavy/LightAnother suggestion is to run
heavy/light. Suppose, for example, you have a good run today.
That run is a heavy run, meaning it puts significant stress on
your body. Sports doctors say our bodies need at least 48 hours
for recovery, so tomorrow should be a light day. A light day
could be running about half the distance you did today. Or it
could be no exercise at all. Or it could be light cross-training
such as light swimming, walking, light cycling, light weights,
etc. Peaks & SlumpsIt is normal for a runner
