It’s quite heavily weighted at the start of the week, especially given you did PW on the Sunday, hence why I have moved the Monday gym session to the weekend (let me know if that’s not ideal). See how you feel Tuesday as well. It’s important you are well recovered, if not we could always do the hills later in the week. Making sure you have recovered from Paddock Wood should be a priority.

Hills can really build your strength as well as improve your running form. This session is tough but will really help you make big gains. Use the downhill as a light recovery jog, so exact recovery times can be flexible.
Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜
Flexibility is definitely very important to runners and yoga can help in that area!

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.
