Rested legs are key and I may have read this here, or maybe a recent article somewhere, but that the best runners in the world train at about 80% of their actual potential which makes me feel less guilty about only doing 2 short runs &then maybe a long run, or mountain climb depending on my mood &what I'm training for per week.

That's actually a really interesting (and good!) approach, it sounds like. Especially when you have a limited amount of time to devote to training -- which is what most of us have. Definitely food for thought 👍
