Does anyone not take rest days on a regular basis--particularly if you cross-train? I'm seriously considering a workout plan come warmer, Spring weather that will include 5 days of running with 2 days of weight training--and rare "rest" days. I don't think I would ever run 7 days/week...could moderate strength training days qualify as "rest" days? Is this a wise or unwise approach? k
Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson

I think your plan sounds fine. You'll know if you're getting tired and you can take a real 'rest day' when you need one.
Prophet!
Right now I'm thinking I'd like to be running 30-35 miles/week most of those weeks, so not super high miles by any stretch of the imagination. k

Rest days are for ninnies.

Rest days are for ninnies. I take rest days, 1-2 per week, completely off. I, therefore, am a ninny.
Get out and run. excuses are for ninnies.
What I wonder is if my body will think that weight workouts are a "rest" from running, since they are such different types of exercise.
