“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
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.
90 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
30 Mins @ HM Pace (RPE: 6)
Let’s introduce some half marathon pace into your long run. Practicing goal pace when the legs are tired is a good test and simulates how it will feel on race day. Dig deep. You got this.
