De afgelopen jaren zijn hardlopers steeds meer het belang van herstel gaan inzien. Wie voor een marathon traint, plant tegenwoordig vaker rust- en actieve hersteldagen in. Volgens het Year In Sport Report van Strava bestond in de zestien weken voorafgaand aan een marathon gemiddeld 51 procent van de dagen uit rustdagen. Dat komt neer op 57 rustdagen tegenover 55 trainingsdagen, oftewel: ongeveer om de dag een training. Een goed trainingsschema bevat voldoende rust. Juist dan boek je vooruitgang.

Those training for marathons added more rest and active recovery days into their schedule last year, with 51 percent of days in the 16 weeks before the 26.2-mile race being rest days, according to the Strava Year In Sport report. That’s 57 days of rest compared to 55 days of training—or basically alternating a run day and a rest day every week.
