    Hello everyone.
    I am new to long distance running and Im going to give the DCM a shot in October.
    I have a few concerns in relation to training.
    The main one is in relation to how often i need to train.
    I want to train as often as possible but on friday I pushed my distance a bit and while heart wise I was fine, I found my legs to be pretty tired yesterday and even today (a little). Should I be waiting until Im fully repaired in the legs before I head out again or should I be running through this?

    I see most programs have a shorter run the day after a long run but i know a bit about muscle recovery as I have been lifting weights for years now. There is a difference in the type of fatigue my legs are feeling though. Its not so much musle tear, more like muscle tiredness. My instinct is telling me to rest until my legs feel good again.

    Any input would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.
