50 Mins Run
Zone 2: Easy
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.
After your fantastic run at Bewl I am questioning whether I can push you a bit harder already? So let’s tick this week off and see how you feel at the end. If you want more miles, just say, the plan is always adaptable and that’s the best thing about working with a proactive coach, at any stage we can tweak things to make sure the training is right for you. For now, keep building that aerobic base and strength, the two key elements to do well at Beachy Head. Any issues, let me know.

A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
*reps/seconds on both sides
If some of the sets/reps are too demanding at first, just do what you can, you can always build up to 60s slowly. Wall sits and planks in particular can be tough, so just go to the point you feel you need to stop and repeat that time, even if it’s only 20s.

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.
Keep the effort level down on these easy runs and focus on good running mechanics.
