Not a runner, but for me the feeling is that I can workout for 364 days a year, but if I miss one single day, then the habit is broken and it takes the willpower necessary to move a fucking mountain to get back to the gym after that. It feels like I don’t built habits no matter how many times I do it.
It’s still necessary to rest, but the fear is legit.
Like what the other person said. Stay active, but don’t do any formal (or at least stressful) exercise. Gentle NEAT is better than being sedentary (unless you’re severely ill or injured).

Active rest is your friend
What is that?
