I need to go to London tmrw so won’t get a run done. I therefore brought the easiest one forward. A complete contrast to yesterday’s run, my HR was through the roof and felt super hard! I didn’t look at my recovery needs before I started because ‘40mins easy’ is just a recovery run but seems I was more broken than I realised
Recovery runs are sometimes the worst. I remember them feeling awful and questioning if they were actually doing me any good, so these days just tend to prescribe rest. I think if your a sub 3 marathon runner and under the age of 40, yep, do a recovery run, but for most of us, putting our feet up in front of the TV is a better choice. That said, well done for ticking it off.
