Episode 3500:

Dr. Neal Malik answers a listener question about where the rest day belongs in a week that already holds three runs and three lifting sessions. He explains the signals that tell you it is time to back off, then redefines what a rest day actually is: not the couch, but a lighter change of pace like stretching, yoga or an easy jog that keeps your healthy habits going while your body recovers.
