Is there a reason some days exercise is physically so much harder?

    I've noticed that my off days consistently occur after a peak performance, or several days of feeling strong. Therefore, I take every 4th day as a day of active rest.

    Remember, rest is paramount for continued progress.

    Yesterday I jogged 20 minutes easy today I had to walk/run 3 min intervals. Think it's from being in the sun 4 hours beforehand.

    This is why my workout plans have ranges built in. As in, if I'm doing bench press today, I will work up to between 185-225, for between 4-6 reps. Some days I'll kill it, working 225x6. Other days I'm creaking out 185x4. But I'm there working it. You can probably figure out something similar for running.
