40 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.
This will be the Elaine Williams race and the Walk to Run graduation. You can either treat it as a 40 min easy run or switch it over with parkrun and push a little bit harder and include WU/CD and Strides. Just depends which of the two runs you’d like to prioritise this week. I’d be inclined to stick with what you have been doing and make parkrun the focus.
