Try to one at least once a week or when my body says stop.
But i too feel guilty, and normally do something light.

How often does everyone just have a day off from their training?
In all honesty my break from training is usually becuase my planned training had to go on hold for something else more important! (work, family, ect...) Which in my case is probably two or three days a fortnight.

For example last week I did an easy 5km run, following only 5 hours sleep, and I felt like crap was completely disillusioned with my training and felt like giving up . Two days later following a couple of good 8 hour sleeps I ran 16 kms and felt I could have done more.... diet hadnt changed on any of the days...... can only attribute the much better performance to decent sleep.
As for days off, every programme I have ever seen advocates one day a week of no training, with 3 week build, one week easy 'periodisation'
As I have mentioned in another thread, actually found the 220 Training Tool available on the main site to be really useful. Once you have forked out the £100 to download it to your machine.
