Daily & Weekly Mileage Programs - Some Need More Rest Than Others

Some runners need more rest than others. Be conservative and find a pattern that works best for you. Don't be worried about losing conditioning.

In fact you gain rather than lose by cutting back, because you return rested and less prone to injury.
