Armyfag here, are rest days a meme or are they mandatory? My workouts are calisthenics on strength days and running on cardio, I don’t want to take a rest day because I don’t want to break my cardio pattern
Thoughts?

running rest days are mandatory. You will get an overuse injury if you run hard every day of the week. There are plenty of runners doing 6-1, though. You can probably work running every day if you run "easy" a few days a week as long as you listen to your body. On rest days you can do low-impact cardio - elliptical if you want to look like a pussy, cycling or swimming or something. You can do cardio every day, but not run every day.
Rest days for calisthenics aren't really mandatory. Legit lifting necessitates rest days, but calisthenics don't really have the same effect on muscles in my experience.
