I train everyday for about 2-3 hours. I keep reading how it is better to have rest days to recover. Everytime I take a day off everything I can measure get worse and takes at least a day to get back in the swing of it.
Speed goes down, heart rate goes up, stretching gets tighter.
After about 4 weeks I have finally taken a day's break as the lactic acid isn't clearing in my legs. I am now desperate to train. Perhaps an ice bath would be better but too wimpy to try it, stick to ice packs.
Any thoughts on rest days?

Everyone is different so its difficult to say, I havent been able to train for a little while but i personally train every day 1-3 hours and have the weekend off or at least one day, I know certain instructor courses train monday- friday and have weekends off but i suppose we all need a rest day at some point!
