A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
A nicely timed recovery week which works well with the 10k on Saturday. Track on Monday might be a little more demanding than the 20pts credited on the dashboard but that is fine given this is a lighter week and there’s only one extra run before St.Louis. Keep doing those stretches especially if traveling a lot. I won’t be there Monday purely cos I am long running Sunday, but hope to be back the following week. Keep working hard Steve.

It all depends on the nature of the session as to how hard you want to work. The longer the reps, the slightly slower the pace will be. Or if doing hills, focus on RPE rather than pace. But you always want to be working hard to ensure you make the necessary gains.
*reps/seconds on both sides
A really good home workout for the core and legs. If new to this, don’t worry about hitting the seconds or reps. Do what you can and slowly build up to the targets.
For example you might find you can only hold a plank for 20 seconds at first, which is fine. Don’t push too hard that you get injured. You’ll soon get strong and be able to add more seconds.

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.
