text: is it ok to run everyday? i love running and it helps keep my weight down. my trainer at gym said i should only run every second day to give my muscles a rest in between but if i am to leave it for a day i suffer the next and don't train as well ya, its ok to run everyday, most people run everyday rathar than running once in 2 days...its not a problem running everyday...but, mind u that u do not strain ur legs much, minimum of dialy running is enough. excessive running or running more than ur routine suddenly may cause ur muscles pain.
