40 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
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.
Probably the hardest thing for me as a coach at times is holding my runners back. Knowing when to ease back. It’s still something I’m working on as some runners don’t seem to listen. The point being, Sunderland half was only 2 days ago, so we need to be smart and take it easy this week. There are interval sessions in the plan for the next 5 weeks. You’ll be wishing you had more easy Tuesday runs at the end of that stretch.
