I know you mentioned you are going away, but have set the schedule as if you would be here. So let me know if you need to tweak it over the next two weeks or so. I don’t want to be the one that spoils a holiday “Sorry luv, gotta run cos the coach says so” π€¦ββοΈπ So do what you can.

A good speed session and a chance to increase pace as the reps get shorter. Work hard and enjoy!
Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides π
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
A good home workout for the legs. No weights needed, but if you do have some that will add to the difficulty. Recoveries around 30-60s. If time is limited then combined two exercises together. So whilst recovering from squats for example you could be doing your calf raises. This could save you as much as 15 mins.
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.
