Hey. I thought I'd give this a shot, just a general chat thread about running... eg. How was your run today, how are you tracking, how's your training going for that race that you decided to go for etc... if it's popular, maybe someone knows how to write a bot to post weekly or monthly? (I don't)

I hate taking time off. Even a pre race taper is hard.

But you can get past overtraining by reducing your volume and ramping up slower.

Thanks. That's what I'm going to try. I'm going to reduce my volume by taking out weights for now because I know I can get back to where I am more easily. I am just now starting to build a good running base and I don't want to regress.
