When I was in high school I started jogging regularly, and I learned the hard way to take days off to avoid injuries, but another thing I learned years later when I became a real gym rat was that my knees were just shit. Doctor said I needed to build my muscle in my joints because I simply didn't have enough cushion between my bones and joints or avoid injury. I couldn't take the high impact of concrete no matter how good my shoes were. (I mean, I was a college student and couldn't afford a pair over $60 as a treat..). So an idea might just be 1. Take every other day off and work another set of muscles in rotation, and 2. Do not skip building up your joints, build you ankles, knees, wrists, elbows etc. They're very important, no matter how beefy your calves and thighs are you joints have to be able to take the strain.
