Tuesday is the handicap but with Henry. Another quick parkrun and then 120 mins Sunday? Is that ok with the Walk and Talk? Any problems let me know, but we want to continue to bank some good mileage with Bewl 15 and Pier to Pier coming up. Keep up the great work Sue.

Always feel free to tweak a few exercises if you want, just try and avoid working the same muscle groups twice.
Recoveries: Take 2-3 mins after the 8 min rep and 60s in between the 60 second reps.
A tough 5k session and the challenge is to see if you can hold your 5k pace in the 2nd 8 min rep when the legs are tired and you’re feeling fatigued.

Add in a few more of the new exercises if you want. But overall this is still a very good all round workout.
Flexibility is definitely very important to runners and yoga can help in that area!
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.
