Fatigue is my problem. When I do long runs I feel tired for some days after.Deload is an interesting term for taking a running break. Is it fatigue you need a break from? Joint stress?
Usually on deloads, it’s either volume or intensity that’s reduced (or both). You could do easy jogs for shorter distances in other words.
If your joints need a break, using a different modality of endurance work would be nice ie swimming, biking, rowing.
Walking is always nice.
I thought that running would be stressful for my joints, as I am a heavy lifter who wasn't used to run, but this is not the case. I guess that all these years of lifting made my joints able to endure almost anything.
Fatigue on the other hand, is a real problem, as I said. Some days I even wake up tired.
Yes, my "deload" weeks will be walking, bike liss and some short runs.
Thank you friend.
