Runners run
Why is it sideways?
If you're in a period of training with no immediate racing goals (and thus presumably not doing a lot of track or interval work), you can run as fast as you want to every day. If you're a little tired the next day, good. You should be. If you're really whipped, consciously back off and you'll probably feel fresher soon enough. There are no magical programs or formulas when it comes to building strength in the off-season. Run as much as you can as often as possible and run like hell when moved to do so. That seemingly oversimplified piece of advice is not a cop-out or a spitting in the face of science or specifics; it's a real prescription for long-term success. I have benefitted tremendously from this approach, as have many runners far better than me.
During a period of serious racing, the variables change. Here, you should almost certainly be running slower on non-workout, non-race days than you think you should. "Recovery days" are so named for a reason; they're not called "slow, but no slower than seven-minutes-a-mile-'cause-that's-too-slow" days, for the same reason. You're better off running too slowly than running too fast during an in-season training run, and, though it may not feel like it, better of pitter-pattering along at a relative jog than not running at all.
