However, do you not agree that you should have "easy" days in your training (whatever your mileage) - for some people this could equate to a "rest day" - for example after a hard speed session (or if you use Daniels' ideas after 2 hard back-to-back days), and so you only do an easy, say, 5miles?
For sure.. even the super high mileage kenyans are pretty strict on 1 day a week rest..

I don't but that's due to a number of reasons but get to a point where I need a rest day, but often a steady 4-5 miler will leave me fresh the next day..
