How Often Do You Take A Break From Running

brooksrunner

Be interested to hear how often and how long people take off running? Ive done a few marathons and find I go grand running 3-4 days a week and then bam every 3 months or so Ill have to take a week off cause Ill be drained and no energy

Slow down on some sessions and you won't

Two weeks off completely post marathon. Easy weeks then for another two weeks at least.
I don't take a break from running outside of that but my recovery days are slow and are based on keeping heart rate low.

Depending on where I am for Summer holidays, I might take a couple of weeks off then. Otherwise, no. The slow down comment above is probably key.

Haven't missed a day since the middle of August 2017

I take a full 6 weeks off training at the end of a track season, allowing me to physically and mentally recover.

Often need to slow down or take a couple days off. Have also been doing more trail running which definitely helps. Slower pace than road and I find I enjoy it far more.

Have been having some ITB issues after 21+km trail runs that are hilly so I take a few days off post to recover. Trying to strengthen my core more now.

I don't understand the question.
