COACH NOTES

My own approach to S&C is simple. Include the 7 key movement patterns and try to work all muscle groups.

RUNNER FEEDBACK

I switched this for an hour of yoga to really stretch out and boost recovery ahead of two runs Sunday and Monday. I’m not dropping S&C – just making sure I’m recovering from the runs and not building up a deficit as the mileage has increased and the sessions got pushed up this week.

COACH FEEDBACK

The running is definitely the priority. To be honest, and I don’t say this to many runners, but you could probably get away without “any” S&C in this plan. The increase in mileage is going to see the fitness improve and as you mentioned, recovery from that is always the priority. I would take it day by day and if you feel good, add in some strength work. If you feel you need to rest, then rest. The one thing not to neglect would be the stretching, which is important at all times. Just to clarify I’m not saying “Don’t do S&C”, but just right now recovery is more important.
