I just realised today that the 30 day yoga with Adriene conflicts with this thread .
I can't decide whether to continue the 30 days with Adriene, or have one complete rest day a week, and then do the remaining yoga sessions at the end going in to Feb.
I'm favouring the second option

You will still be doing better with Adriene than I did first time.
I think I finished in September.
The following year.

NO!

I mean yes - but we can make it work!
I'm doing both but engineering Adriene to fit. I have designated rest days of at least one a week. We have the Adriene plan now and you'll see that some sessions are quite short.

This is what I will do next week:
Day five 'Soften' 26 mins falls on Monday 6th (my rest day) If it looks really non taxing - and 'Soften' implies that - then I will do it, it will work well after my track session on Sunday. But the alternative is to do two sessions on the 7th, not impossible.

OR -as you suggest - miss one day every week and add an extra four or five days at the end of Jan.

OR a bit of both!

Proper, I mean real proper rest day for me today, determined to see the back of this cold so have rested for much of the day, day 0 of Adriene has been the limit. Wish the same could be said for my head.

Ah Sharkie, what a good idea... I hadn't thought of doing yoga double days 😉

Total rest day for me today - from physical exertion at least.
At work, though, with all that entails (mentally rather than physically) so days like this don’t feel restful at all.

Yeah, I get that completely, Bint. It's tough. My physio sent me a useful podcast all about - iIrr -external and internal loading. Anyway, it mentioned just how much other stuff -besides obvious things like injuries - affects our training day to day. Stress is a biggie as you'd expect. Silly old work getting in the way!

Mrs. J - quite right too. Day Zero of Adriene most appropriate. Nothing else! Get well soon!

Trin - I'm experimenting with 'doubles' of different sorts on non rest days. Let's face it most - if not all - of the people on this thread are pretty fit to begin with and I reckon can handle doubles if they're sensible about it. That then leaves better rest days.

I really DON'T mean trying to cheat the system and shove in more than is appropriate - but I think it's worth playing around with.

Non running day today - yoga and Pilates. Otherwise pretty lazy. Can't decide what to do tomorrow, final day of the holiday...

About This Thread

Welcome to what may be the least watched, least contributed to, thread ...ever.

It's for everyone (well, me) that thinks real Rest Days are vital and a grand thing in themselves. And for everyone (well, me) who feels that one day at a time DONE WELL is always better than half arsed for-evers.

There will be RULES of course (my ball, my game)
