“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
We are laying down some really good foundations now so when we introduce the speed work your fitness will be there but also the muscles and tendons will be well conditioned for the extra stress. So keep doing what you are doing. 50pts up for grabs for the first time which highlights the gradual progression. Excellent work Susie.

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.

*reps/seconds on both sides
A really good home workout for the core and legs. If new to this, don’t worry about hitting the seconds or reps. Do what you can and slowly build up to the targets.
For example you might find you can only hold a plank for 20 seconds at first, which is fine. Don’t push too hard that you get injured. You’ll soon get strong and be able to add more seconds.

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.
