It is important to give yourself 48-hours rest in between stressful runs. This
doesn't mean you should stop running completely. Easy running during the 48-hour
period brings about a quicker recovery than complete rest. Even on slow runs,
the blood vessels in the area dilate and allow more blood to flow into the
stressed area-this is called reactive hyperemia. Slow shorter runs in between hard
ones will bring restorative blood with oxygen, training nutrients and more fuel
to the battered area. You can't push your training ahead and avoid the 48-hour
rule without paying dearly.
