Rest Day Brags

@taggartvanetten Happy birthday!

hello everyone, today is my birthday (30th) anyway, my only birthday wish is that YOU start overtraining please make it come true -your favorite washed up sub elite runner

@Predamame @brady_h Hey now

@brady_h Off days are a scam pushed by Big Recovery.

“I think off days are a scam mostly.” Jason and I just became friends.

Super stoked to share my five year summary of elite performance and my Why behind my podcast via a little video tomorrow. 🤓 Pop over to IG and make sure you’re following @ForTheLRPod (same handle) to catch it!

Take a week off. Burning out at work? Take a week off. Losing motivation in the gym? Take a week off. Finding it hard to write or read? Take a week off. Then come back to it at 110%. Rest does wonders.

One of the most difficult challenges for any ambitious person is eliminating the guilt associated with free time and rest.

@JWLevitt @Marriott @Airbnb @Hertz @united Literally the perfect sponsor for @restdaybrags is a company that provides beds

Who else loves a rest day after a great weekend of training, hanging with family and friends, and a whole lotta fun? 🙋🏻‍♀️

@heycoachpotato @scottcarlinpt Well done

Try this on your next recovery run: 45-60 minutes Run the shortest distance possible.

Grayson is an amazing role model! It’s OK to feel self conscious. Even world champions feel it! Thank you @racin__grayson for normalizing those feelings, and for showing that HARD work can be accompanied by hard rest. Check her @Strava for inspiration🤯 strava.com/athletes/grays…

In this @ForTheLRPod, we talked about -trail running in Hawaii -the benefits of training solo -relationship with competition / training -race selection -balancing work and life demands with training -saunas and heat training -working with @MountainRoche -@restdaybrags and more!

Rest days are important! Building them in before we NEED them is important, granted it doesn’t always happen that way. But today I’m happy to take a rest day when I don’t feel like I need one ❤️ 🙃 also brunch with friends is always a nice way to spend a rest day

Monday meetings 🤝 @restdaybrags

Athletes — The optimal amount of: Happiness is happiness. Fulfillment is feeling fulfilled. Hard word is doing your best. When you eliminate unnecessary controlling people from your life you sleep and recover better, which makes you enjoy the process and perform at your best.

Rest

@XcCris @mescottdouglas @davidmellyruns 👍🏻👍🏻

@mescottdouglas @davidmellyruns That’s fine and all but you, a contributing writer for a major running publication, end the tweet saying think about this guys running streak when things are not ideal. This is what encourages runners, especially new ones, to overdo it and feel guilty about taking a day off.

Run streaking is dumb and promotes a terrible view of training. A healthy, sustainable relationship with running includes days off and breaks. I will die on this hill.

Haven’t run since last Friday. My body needed/asked for a break and I’m listening.

Hey @LeTour… anything fun going on?

Valentine's Day & Rest Day being on the same day is magical. All the chocolate treats today! @restdaybrags

@nickwillis Survey says: no. I believe we are the authority on this matter, amiright @ameliaboone?

Is it a day off if I raced at midnight, slept 7 hours, then didn't run the rest of the day?

Feline really happy to have spent most of today outdoors despite zero miles of fitnessing. @restdaybrags
