Long distance runners...what do you do the day before your long run (8+ miles)? I read a few things online and can't tell if you should take a rest day or just do something light or what. THANKS!

    I usually rest or cross-train(kickboxing mostly) the day AFTER a long run. The day before, I do a short run or cross-train.

    I usually do my long runs back-to-back (Sat + Sun).
