Guys, is it ok to run two days a week?

I know improvement happens when I'm resting, not when I'm breaking down my body by running, but I love running so much! Will I hinder my progress by going out for a second run each week?

If you really have the energy for a second session, do cross training instead, such as posting an inspirational quote to Instagram or letting your Facebook friends know how much you love running. It will be much better for you in the long term. Sorry I'm being so brief but I'm a little upset because I just got back from the funeral of a teammate who tried running three times a week for a month.

If you think you are feeling great running once a week now, think about how great you'll feel resting that day instead.

Don't even try running more than once a month. It will literally kill you and your loved ones.

any time you feel like doing anything even slightly outside of your running comfort zone, I want you to stop and repeat after me: I'm not freakin' superman!

Be careful, that way lies injury, madness, and probably death.
