    You could try focusing on stretching, focus, and balance on your rest days or get a deep tissue massage on a rest day.

    The formula is stress + recovery = fitness

    Just gauge how you feel based on your other life obligations. @jeepinshawn said it very simply. To keep the body active try out some recovery swimming perhaps? This is just very easy swimming that allows the body to stay active with low impact environment that the pool offers.

    I train about 5-6 days and eventually want to build up to where I can take an active recovery day instead of a complete rest. However complete rest is also very crucial. It allows you to mentally recharge and take the mind off the grind for a moment.

    There is no magic formula or one size fits all and if someone tells you its "only this way" RUN away.

    Lots of good information on recovery in this feed!

    Thanks!
