12 POINTS
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.
A well deserved recovery week. Is the gym back on the cards this week? If not stick with the home workouts and we can add some extra mins on the easy runs to make up the missing 10 points. Any issues let me know. Safe travels if you are going back to Colombia. Keep up the great work Ben.
Disappointed not to have done my long run but guess life just gets in the way sometimes.
It’s how we respond to bad weeks that matters. They will happen from time to time. But if we stay positive and bounce back they won’t effect the overall plan. Plus I will always step in the alter the plan to insure you arrive at the start line having got as close to the original targets as possible.

Pushing beyond that 2 hour barrier is a good mental win. Important to be fuelling and staying hydrated on these runs.
