Hi Lucy, I’ve put some runs in this week just to make sure we keep it easy, but next week I will have the plan done properly.
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
Foam roll all the leg muscles
Seated butterfly stretch
Hip flexor stretch
Seated rotation stretch
Standing hip flexor stretch
Half kneeling (hip and quad) stretch
Half Kneeling Adductor Mobilisation
Spiderman w/adductor stretch
Ankle Dorsi Flexion
Ankle Plantar Flexion
Ankle Inversion
Ankle Eversion
Ankle Alphabet
Straight leg calf raises
Bent-knee single leg calf raises
Heel Toe Walking
A session dedication to the exercise prescribed from your form session. I think these are a great addition.
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.

It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.

A good all round session to work the legs. You should have built up to this fairly gradually, so don’t dive in head first as you want to take your time building your strength. Be sensible with the weights to begin with.
If short on time combine 2 exercises together (superset) them to save on the recoveries.
