Definitely important to ease right off this week. Coming off the back of Paddock Wood and with HHM next week. We want to be well rested for that. So I’ve moved the gym session to later in the week to allow for that extra recovery. If you feel fine Monday happy for you to switch it back as the legs will still get a rest.

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.
If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.
