IT'S A REST DAY: One of the reasons we emphasize listening to your body, and include three rest days in each training week, is to help prevent injuries. Many injuries come from overuse, that is, from overdoing it. That's why it's so important to increase your exercise slowly and gradually. So if you were very tired after your Block 20 workout yesterday, go back to Block 19 until you're really ready to move on. Also, if you experience persistent pain in your toes, ankles, knees, hips, or lower back, see a specialist such as a sports podiatrist or physical therapist. Sometimes your increased activity level can reveal biomechanical imperfections that never affected you when you were sedentary. For example, many people have one leg that is slightly longer than the other, or knees that don't track perfectly. It's better to look into these things sooner rather than later, before small problems develop into bigger ones.
