The great thing when you live in Maui is that a "Rest" day doesn't really like any other day, It is like being on vacation. Rest day : No running. Excuse ? you always have to give your body time to heal-recharge-adapt-rest. It seems like the gold rule of marathon training: Not too fast. Rule in my program is 4 days of running for 3 days of rest. Seems typical in trainings I've seen so far.
Typical Sunday morning in Wailea
Not a lot of people today. July is not too busy. Surprisingly. No wind today.
Still, rest day means 35 minutes of open water swimming. Good for the upper body, the core and all that. Typical training schedule for runners is to cross train on "rest days". Everything but the legs, the core if possible, or other type of running : intervals, strengthening, etc...
But today, the swim among the fishes and coral head, or along a lazy sea turtle chilling out, really felt like vacation time. Big difference from upcountry pool !
