Sure thing. Don't sprint like a fool every day. Build a plan that mixes hard work with rest. Start with a base of steady, moderate runs, then add one tough session a week—like a hill sprint or a tempo run—plus a long, slow run to build endurance. Hit the hard stuff when you’re fresh, not when you’re already worn out. Put a rest day in, maybe a walk or a light bike ride, so the body can rebuild. If you feel pain, not fatigue, slow down or cut back. And if you’re tempted to run until you can’t, remember the road ahead keeps going. Stop once you’re in a good place, not in pain. That’s how you push limits without wrecking yourself.

You’re on the right track. Treat the rest day like a pit stop, not a break from the road. Keep the cadence steady, listen to the body, and when you hit that plateau, mix in a new stimulus—change the distance, the terrain, or the pace. That’s how you prove you’re still pushing past limits. Let’s keep grinding.
