I think a week of easy running at this stage of the plan is sensible, just to take off the strain on the hamstring and glute. Take extra rest if need be and see what the physio says. We just want to be a little cautious right now to make sure you are healthy on the start line for the upcoming races. Any issues let me know. Keep up the great work Michelle.

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.
Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜

So slightly more challenging and time consuming. To save time you can superset some exercises. What does that mean? Well rather than having 60 seconds recovery after your Kettlebell Swings, use that 60 seconds to do the Farmers Walk. And then go back to the Kettlebell Swings again. So you’d alternative 2 exercises and once, then have a short break before doing the same again. It saves as much as 15 mins that you’d otherwise just be standing around. Any issues let me know.
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.
90 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.
