Rest Days

During cross country, we run 6 days a week at a very intense level. When you have a chance for rest on Sundays you need to take it. Your body will use this day to rebuild and recover in preparation for the upcoming week. If you do not give your body this rest, you make yourself more prone to injury, as well as run the risk of hurting your performance because you will not be able to run the workouts at the proper speeds.

I guess I prefer to stay unpredictable so that people cannot say, 'Dixon's a front-runner' or 'Dixon, he stays back in the pack and then comes up strong at the end.' Strategy, my dear. I don't mind setting the pace, though, when I have to run my own race. I do what the situation requires.
