“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
Ideally if running 3 times per week we wouldn’t want our 2 longest runs to be back to back. But that said I believe you are a strong enough runner to do those consecutive days and if that is when you have the most availability then it’s the best time to do them. Any issues let me know. Next week we introduce speed work for the first time which is exciting and then you’ll start to really notice the improvement in fitness. Keep up the great 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.
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

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.
