A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
I imagine this was a weekend off? But we can cram some decent training into the week beforehand. Track Monday is a good alternative for the session if you wanted to join in with the club. Another double session too, hopefully have time to squeeze that in? Any problems let me know and of course if we need to change things up that is fine. Keep up the great work Sally.

A nice progression speed session. Start of at 5k pace for the first 2 reps then look to crank it up and finish off really strongly. Go smash it! You got this.
It’s said that 1 minute of swimming has the same benefit as 1 minute of running. So a nice 45 minute swim replaces an easy 45 minute run and takes away any impact. Ideal if you are struggling a little with injury.
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.
You’ll likely need to push the pace a little just to get the heart rate into Zone 1, so don’t be fooled into thinking this will be an easy bike ride.
A good workout that will cover all the fundamental movement patterns and key muscle groups in the legs.

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.
Enjoy. Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training.
