so many different schedules and differing opinions out there so I thought I would ask you guys,
while training for your marathons, is it better to take your rest day before or after your long run :flowerforyou:

    For my schedule the day before worked best. Followed a long run day by and easy run day.

    I've done 3 marathons and 3 1/2's and I think it's best to take a rest day the day before. I try to cross train the day after.
