Classic session. 30 mins on Sub LT2 work. Sit in right under your threshold and focus on HR not pace.
I don’t know what they will set for Monday track but it’s been 5 x 6 mins the last two times. To be honest after more consideration I think I’ll avoid the threshold stuff, so once we know what the session is I will give instructions on the track group regarding pace. Keep the easy runs super easy this week with Sunday’s race on the card. Keep working hard Steve and this consistency will really start to pay off.

A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.

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.

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

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.
