I thought we’d try and easyish speed session. Just be careful though, but we do want to wake up those fast twitch fibres at some stage. We also go further with the long run and I’ve kept that 4th run in for now, but see how you feel, some easy cross training might work better if the foot or legs start to complain. Any problems let me know.

Build up to a long interval session like this. Good to practice a variety of paces and dig deep during those longer middle reps.
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.
See how you fair with this session for now and we can always make some changes. It’s a strong all round workout that covers all fundamental movement patterns along with all the key muscle groups. If there is any area you feel is particularly weak and needs work I can add different exercises in. I like to keep the S&C simple and those that have stuck to their routines and not made continual changes have made real progress.
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.
