Lexica says:

Most runners can reach most of their goals by running 3-4 days a week. If you want more mileage, you can break up the mileage into two sessions on your running days.

              cause of improvement is remaining injury-free.</EM> If you're like 
              most runners, you push it to the limit, and then Mother Nature steps 
              in and forces you to rest. This slows your progress, for you must 
              rebuild after each "down" period. But if you <EM>build 
              rest into your training program</EM> you can avoid injuries and 
              interruptions in your progress. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://jeffgalloway.com/resources/news_archives/feb07.html"><P><STRONG>HOW MANY DAYS PER WEEK?</STRONG><BR /><DIV>
              Research has shown that you need at least three days of running 
              per week for sustained improvement. One or two days do comparatively 
              little for you. At three days the improvement curve rises dramatically. 
              Each day thereafter, improvement continues, but at a decreasing 
              rate. </DIV>
              
Those who run three days a week almost never get injured. When you 
              consider the virtual certainty of injury from the six- or seven-day 
              running week, even those with time goals should calculate the risks 
              carefully before running more than five days. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7E9A6E92-DD5A-465D-A9DF-D9CBA81E3076/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
